Rewards in Production

We are working on making quail note cards and tumblers. As you can see from the photos below we are back to working in the basement. We miss Canada and mountains. We will begin sending out rewards in May.

What's next?

It's good to be home, and we have begun the next phase of our installation. Our plan is include flowers we'll make from porcelain as an element in the installation. We've begun experimentation on how to construct the flowers. Spring is the perfect time for this exploration!


Inspiration!










We're Back!

Our last two weeks at Banff were a bit of a blur. We installed and documented our work in the Banff Centre's gallery space called the Philosopher's Knoll. We had studio visits with curators and made even more wallpaper to prepare for the Open Studios event. It was productive to get feedback from visitors from the Banff Centre and the surrounding community. Visitors especially responded to the scale and texture of the work which we found encouraging. We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity, space and time to begin working on a large-scale project.

We're home! (Take note of our crafty duct tape duffel to bring home our unused paper.)
