Grass Collection

This wheat-like grass, with its captivating notch pattern, caught our attention in Washington State. We love the delicate way it bends, and how much character each segment adds to the entire line -- the glif in the pattern, the movement from side to side. We'd found the perfect grass - it had enough structure that it would withstand the casting process and enough interest that it could stand on its own.

The largest public peony garden anywhere in the world happens to be near our hometown – in the backyard of one of our dearest friends. Her entire home is surrounded by thousands of peonies – red, orange, coral, yellow, white, blush pink, dark pink, pale pink – all in the dappled shade of towering oaks. Her gardens are the inspiration for this collection. And they’re also where we picked the branches, seeds, petals and buds to create these castings. The peony is the organic form we’ve worked with most extensively, and we love that our collection contains elements of peony at so many stages of life, from seed, to bud, to petal, to branch, and back again.

We discovered this extraordinary fern on the San Juan Islands of Washington State, at a picnic on a rock cliff during the golden hour before sunset, with sea lions chattering down below. We love how the collection of delicate spikes create a bold geometric pattern, but we also love the intricate organic structure of each leaf. And we love the spaces between leaves: a series of new windows on the world, and a reminder of how even when there are spaces between us, big or small, we can still be together with the ones we love, in our hearts..
