Creative Process of the Permission to Wander Collection
@ Alabama Chanin
Limited-edition pieces from the Permission to Wander collection will be leaving soon, as we make room for new designs arriving as part of our upcoming collection. Discover hand-painted designs and artisan-made objects in collaboration with Rinne Allen to inspire (and carry along for) the journey—available for a limited time.
Look for our upcoming retrospective, 21 Years coming September 21st—celebrating twenty-one years of defining sustainability from Natalie and Alabama Chanin. Countdown with us here.
@ The School of Making
New to The School of Making are Studio Bundle #3 and September’s Swatch of the Month, which features Backstitch Reverse Appliqué using Embroidery Floss.
This month’s Swatch of the Month design reflects on the creative process and journey in each of us. Using the New Leaves Stencil design, natural elements come into play and call back Natalie’s month long residency program at the Hambidge Center in the north Georgia mountains during the summer of 2018.
Studio Bundle #3 finds color inspiration from Natalie’s time at Hambidge and the work of Mary Hambidge.
