Journal
Three or four times a year, when something is worth writing down: what we have been drawing, how the shop does things, and the questions we are asked often enough to answer properly.
Most of what gets written here starts on a walk, which is also where most of the references do.
Three recent notes
Written by whichever of us had something to say. No schedule, no newsletter, no posting for the sake of it.

Read the noteHousekeeping
We are two people with one chair between us. Anything genuinely worth telling you — a cancellation, a month where the book opens, a change to the deposit policy — goes on this page and nowhere else.
The free half hour covers more ground than any of these notes, and you get to ask the awkward questions out loud.
