As longtime West Coast Craft-ers in San Francisco, we're stoked the WCC crew is hosting their first-ever West Coast Craft in LA. 

An embarrassment of beauty and quality awaits you at the Echo Park Craft Fair this weekend, where we'll have our wares on offer.  The birthplace of Miwak Junior, we are so grateful to be longtime members of the community. Come see us! 

"Celebrating 10 years of commitment to creativity and community, The Echo Park Craft Fair has evolved alongside the artists it supports, igniting nothing less than a modern maker revolution."  - from the Echo Park Craft Fair site

For those of you just joining us, Sebastian is the designer and maker of our pipes, and Sebastian is from the country of Chile.

I'm Alice, and I'm a gringa. We've been together for 12 years. I love our visits there, though they don't happen nearly as often as we would like.

We returned to Chile recently, on October 11th, for the wedding of dear friends. 

Hey there, discerning, fastidious smoker! Today is your lucky day! 

Miwak Junior made these special for Trina Turk in Palm Springs, California:

 

 

Cheers and many thanks to our dear colleague Beca Grimm (of Dope Girls Zine) who interviewed Alice for A Proper High, and to Emily Berkey for taking the photographs.

Shoppe Object, New York’s semiannual independent home and gift show, shone their Designer Spotlight upon us. 

Read on to learn what's on our minds, including: ceramic nerdery, legit weed love, the misunderstood millennials of Echo Park, and an uncouth but festive gift. 

Thank you kindly, Jen Woo and dwell, for including us in this roundup of our esteemed pipe colleagues.
