Last week was a whirlwind! Portraits of Pride and Resiliece opened at City Hall. My little brother and his girlfriend came to support me as well as all my friends. And then Temple and I had two successful vending events.

Very grateful 💗

My three-part workshop, Suminagashi as Modern Craft, at the Arts League has been going swimmingly thus far. We have been having very interesting conversations comparing Suminagashi and the Arts and Crafts movement to our contemporary lives.
