Why Make? Episode 76: Haystack at 75 - An Experiment in Community and Education
<p data-rte-preserve-empty="true">Today we’re sharing a piece we are calling “Haystack at 75 - An Experiment in Community and Education” in celebration of the school's 75th year. A conversation with Haystack executive director Perry Price. We talk about the history of Haystack and the iconic campus that is perched on a cliff above the Atlantic Ocean. Why it still calls itself a school of craft and not art. How the craft school experience differs from an academic institution and finally how has Haystack approached teaching technology. So take a listen, breath in the salt air and hear the sound of the waves pounding the cliffs below Haystack.You can listen to it here and on Apple Podcasts and Spotify</p> <a data-title="Haystack campus in Deer Isle, Maine, aerial photo courtesy of OPAL Architecture / Research /" data-description="" data-lightbox-theme="dark" href="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4de1d3da02bc9f848c1449/1773861681157-Z574HNFJXHTZ10MPNA44/WM-1.jpeg" role="button" aria-labelledby="69bafb2f8dcbb8418bdd389d-title" class=" image-slide-anchor js-gallery-lightbox-opener content-fill " > <span class="v6-visually-hidden">View fullsize</span> <img class="thumb-image" elementtiming="system-gallery-block-grid" data-image="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4de1d3da02bc9f848c1449/1773861681157-Z574HNFJXHTZ10MPNA44/WM-1.jpeg" data-image-dimensions="3000x1690" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="Haystack campus in Deer Isle, Maine, aerial photo courtesy of OPAL Architecture / Research /" data-load="false" data-image-id="69bafb2f8dcbb8418bdd389d" data-type="image" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4de1d3da02bc9f848c1449/1773861681157-Z574HNFJXHTZ10MPNA44/WM-1.jpeg?format=1000w" /><br> </a> Haystack campus in Deer Isle, Maine, aerial photo courtesy of OPAL Architecture / Research / <a data-title="Students move their looms onto the deck outside the Fiber studio to enjoy the sunshine on the Haystack campus, 2023.

Why Make? Episode 75: Emma and the Art of Collaboration
This is the final episode of the 2025 season of Why Make and fittingly the concluding episode of our series on the Emma International Collaboration. Why Make was invited to attend and document the 2024 edition of this event which happens every two years. Our previous episodes on Emma are Episode 59 “What is Emma”, 63 “Impressions of Emma”, 67 “What if” with one of Emma’s founders Michael Hosulak , 68 with Miranda Jones a long time participant and finally this episode we are calling “Emma and the Art of Collaboration”. When I first entertained going Emma to document it two years ago I had not a clue as to how this mysterious process of collaboration worked, this episode will hopefully give you some insight into what that actually looks like.
