Episode 4 - Nic Cartier (Part 1)

We talk all the time, Nic and I. We've been talking non-stop for 15 years, a lot of it about henna.  When we talk about henna we cover the gamut of topics, from cone material to ingredients, from the meaning of art to the meaning of the khamsa.  Even though we live in different cities we end up having a lot of these conversations over coffee or idlis or red wine somewhere in NYC.  We cooked up our Moroccan book in a corner booth at the Culture espresso bar in midtown Manhattan.  We dreamed of our next book over an incredible beet salad in the Roebling Tea Room in Williamsburg.  Now we've actually recorded a snippet of this fifteen year long conversation for this podcast.  The conversation ran long--as it often does--so it's been split into two parts.  We're already planning future episodes with a different format so watch this space! I have been nagging Nic to send me his bio but then I realized that there is no point. You all know the origin myth of Boy Wonder (now Man Wonder) so why bother even cutting and pasting.  I'm sure you'd rather hear what he has to say and look at the pretty (did I just say that?!) pictures of his work.
