Pencil & Pipette


Hey folks, here's me in my studio, photographed and thoughtfully questioned by Anna from Pencil & Pipette. Her blog motto is, 'writings and samplings on creativity and how people use it to make positive change', which is an immensely appealing idea.




We met in a rather serendipitous fashion on a 43 degree day in the Kid's Gallery at the Melbourne Museum. Anna had just visited my blog a few days before, and recognised some of the accessories that I was wearing at the time, so she introduced herself and the rest is history.

We have been emailing back and forth, I responded to Anna's questions regarding making shoes, mass-production, and the role of the craftsperson in new practices of sustainability. I answered in my standard verbose fashion, and so Anna has split the interview into two parts - I do tend to waffle on.

Today it's all about handmade sneakers, my first love, and the reason I got into shoemaking in the first place.


Hope that its informative in terms of my methods, let me know what you think.
Thanks Anna!

Hello,
Nice blog about pipette
This should be an option for you, as your costs and lab function helps make the decision.
