Maker’s
Journal

This is a somewhat eclectic blog full of objects made from my desk or in my dimly lit garage in an attempt to detach from a computer screen even for a moment. Wherever possible everything is made using native, recycled or off the shelf industrial materials and mostly using processes that involve hand-building, printing or constructing using the tools that I have access to everyday. In a sense this blog is about the recording of objects that represent a break from digital commercial work and an embrace of craft.
