Amazing cast(?) dandelion object presented as a gift from Play Mountain during the opening in Tokyo. I've  been mesmerized by it since. Anyone know how it's done? Freeze dried? Wishful thinking?

Textiling

A few of the textiles making their way home with us from Japan, including two sided finished boro blanket,  placemats from Claska "do", NMc's vintage tie dyed Yukata, continued sock addiction from Kyoto's Kapital, and hand dyed indigo from Mashiko.

Tree Wolf

On site milling from Berkeley's Tree Wolf . All of this wood is from one 30 year old Redwood that was cut down on SFAI's campus, and is being used by my new class "sustainable studio" to make benches for the school. The milling process is pretty insane, a jig is attached to a chainsaw that runs horizontal through the lumber. According to the wolf, the wood will take 2 years to dry.
