Homegrown: Sleightholm Folk Art

An interview with Heather of Sleightholm Folk Art, reflecting on her inspiration and process...

Welcome! My name is Kristin Haakenson, and I’m an artist & farmer creating art inspired by the sacred cycles & agrarian rhythms of the liturgical calendar.

In the historic Church, the traditions woven into the liturgical year so beautifully knitted together sacred story with the seasonal work of an agrarian culture. Because of that, I find that the ever-changing rhythms of life on our farm illuminate & deepen these liturgical traditions in fresh ways for me. In this space, I’ll be sharing art and thoughts from that vantage point. Thanks so much for joining me!
