“Design and make. Show and tell. Be resourceful. Honest. Responsible. Go direct. Use your hands. Mix old and new. Start small. Be human. Grow slowly. Provide jobs. Feed the environment. The community. Preserve craft. Honor the hand. Celebrate process and materials. Allow them to drive the making of simple, beautiful objects.” ― Vision & Values, Heath Ceramics
Alabama Chanin is going west next weekend as Natalie heads to Los Angeles to teach a One-Day Workshop at Heath Ceramics’ studio (A few spots are still available at the workshop if you would like to join us). Though this is the first time The School of Making will be hosting a workshop at Heath’s studio, Alabama Chanin’s relationship with Heath Ceramics has spanned eight years. This friendship and partnership has been celebrated on the Journal countless times over the years and this week we share some of those stories with you.
