About this listen

For some people there’s no separation between creativity and life. Their home, their clothes, even the food they eat is a work of art. Annie Werner has built a handmade life, from the straw bale home she shares with her partner and two children and many animals, to the hand sewn and hand knitted clothes she wears. The one time Annie couldn’t knit or crochet was while receiving chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer. In this episode we talk about living with cancer, about what she packed in the car when her house was threatened by the Black Summer bushfires - her knitting - and how she built her colourful, handmade life.
