I graduated Sunday, and I’m de-installing tomorrow, so feels like a good time to share photos from my thesis project, My Sweaters Keep My Cold Body Warm ♥️ grad school was a trip— what a gift. I am a completely different person from these last two years and while most of that time the growth was uncomfortable and painful it was also so unbelievably worth it. I’m proud to be a crybaby!! So what now?!?! it’s time to do everything I’ve been dying to do for the last year! Plus, I’m slinging yarn @fiberrhythm and teaching @wildcraftstudio this summer and fall. Come say hi, learn something new, or touch yarn! 👋

@heygracehartley is intertwined in so much of not only my thesis project and also my entire graduate school experience— she rolled the coils for this ceramic basket for my thesis project and housed a very excited baby ceramic maker in her studio a handful of times this semester and I’m so thankful for her and in love with this piece!!! although I have no idea what it looks like currently!!! ceramics are wild and make me feel like a kid again ⭐️
