Are you in Los Angeles?

Would you like to learn how to slip-cast in ceramic with Miwak Junior?

Sunny's Pop is a winsome destination for unforgettable housewares in upstate New York, owned by dear friend Sunrise Ruffalo. 

Each month they ask fave craftspeople, artists, and friends of the shop 5 questions in their "Under The Influence" series. Here's how we answered...

"Minimalist, clean, and light-weight, no one will judge your wake ‘n bake habit when you use something this beautiful."

Thank you Carly Fisher for including us in GQ Recommends!

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.
