whenever i think of angela adams i’m transported to a place far north, deep in the woods of maine. a world where trees, flowers and animals frolic together to inspire the richly colored and hugely soulful designs of ms. adams. well-known for her beautiful work with textiles, rugs, tiles and accessories, angela adams grew up on an island off the coast of maine where she was (and continues to be) inspired by the bounty of nature around her. i was thrilled to speak with her and even more excited to hear the stories behind her luxurious rugs and tapestries, how she met her husband (designer sherwood hamill) and what her dream project would be if she could design and create without any limitations. so, click here to listen to the first podcast of fall: angela adams. thanks so much to angela and nanette for their time and thoughts.

Coming out of the woodwork on a beautiful day in Vancouver B.C. I feel my first DS comment should expound on how inspirational I’ve found your site to be over my year of anonymous visits. Instead (or in addition I suppose now that I’ve gushed however minimally), I’m wondering what the music is in the intro to the Angela Adams interview?
angela adams is the name of my teacher
Angela Adams is so creative and has found a balance between nature and joy. I have finally purchased a round spike rug that looks so cool in our great room. It looks like water and bark? Our windows bring the out doors in. Her custom made designs are amazing- but I cannot afford them. Quality is apparent. Angela is very talented.
This Angela Adams rug is in my top 3 most coveted/most wanted items for life (or until I can afford it!) I love that she’s a fellow Mainer, and her work makes me feel at home.
