notes from the workshop
The Journal
Small essays on wire, weather, and the slow making of things.
The Beauty of Wire Wrapping
March 12 — A single strand of wire remembers every bend. That is the whole craft: deciding, gently, what it should remember.
Nature as Inspiration
April 3 — We keep a pressing book of ferns and wildflowers in the workshop. Most designs start as something found on a walk.
Caring for Handmade Jewelry
May 19 — Handmade wire jewelry lives longest when treated like a pressed flower: kept dry, handled gently, admired often.
Behind the Workshop
June 8 — A tour of the bench where everything is made: one window, one lamp, four hundred spools of wire.
