Divina Commedia, Dante 
Considerate la vostra semenza. 
Fatti non foste a viver come bruti.
Ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza.

Consider well the seed that gave you birth: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.

Earlier this week I revisited local wool project, @llanatura. They have been working hard for years figuring out how to make use of this ultimate renewable resource, while creating cottage industry in Mallorca. I’ve been reflecting on how to participate these last months, and am getting closer with a few design ideas. Aiming to make some lovely things for the holidays.
Pla atelier and shop is another visit I made.  Irene Peukes’ work is a concentration of many of my favorite qualities- inventive yet traditional hand loom weaving and shoe design, natural dyeing, independent entrepreneurial bravura, it’s all here…  We feel the seeds of collaboration germinating… let’s see what happens. @pla.original
Es Trenc, and it’s otherworldly mounds of salt, Es Trenc, and it’s otherworldly mounds of salt, are among the best of Mallorca’s local offerings in my opinion. And the most photogenic! 

In the coming months and seasons, I’ll be jumping into some work with local artisan projects. Llanatura and its sheep-to-product vertical wool business is among them. A few posts on wool itself are coming soon, both highlighting it’s properties as a masterful renewable material and it’s sorry fate in last decades being burned due to the high cost of processing. 

Working with small, nimble, independent enterprises is one good answer to the global crisis we face in earth’s sustainability. Thoughtfully designed, carefully made items, principally by hand in small batches - these are the new essentials, a steadily growing market sector, and to me the biggest luxury. Giving natural materials precedence, opening the way for more individual creative agency and the opportunity to find personal relevance through work, creating sustainable, if not zillionaire-producing livelihoods for many who wish to step into independent entrepreneurialism – this is where it’s at. 
More on this subject soon as well, as I prepare both in-person programs and online courses to galvanize this movement - sustainable, small, global local, natural, handmade !
