In this interview with Hannah Jordan recounts her personal journey to Cornwall, reflecting on her time in Falmouth and eventual involvement with The Ladder, an artistic community based in the old library in Redruth. A notable moment in the process of moving into her current studio involved the moving of a large, cumbersome sewing machine, which, despite precautions, toppled during transport. This resulted in some damage, but a sewing repairman in Penryn managed to fix it, allowing the narrator to continue their work undeterred.
Beyond the studio, the interview provides a glimpse into the diverse and vibrant community at The Ladder. Hannah highlights the remarkable story of a Ukrainian housemate who, after recently arriving in the UK, learned English in mere weeks, showcasing the adaptability and determination of those involved in the community.
