Every piece leaves the bench with a ticket tied to it.
A ticket is the paper slip we knot to your work while it dries, proofs or sets. It carries your name, the date, and what happens next. Six are on the shelf this season — pick one, take an afternoon, go home with the thing you made.
tickets on the shelf. Four disciplines, one room, eight to fourteen seats a session. Nothing is filmed, nothing is streamed.
