The first time I tried Slab Pottery (I keep typing poetry instead of pottery, haha) was a couple of years ago in preparation for Craft Camp Antipolo. We were there for an ocular visit and decided to make some pieces so we could pick them up in a couple of weeks’ time. We each had
I can’t believe it’s already been a week since we spent a weekend in Antipolo for Craft Camp PH. While organizing a full-day activity—and doing it twice in one weekend—can be physically taxing, there really is something about spending an entire day making, and doing it in a relaxing environment. This year, we decided to
Always make time for the things that matter. Two of my favorite things in the world: making things with my hands and the ocean. These are some of the books I’ve worked on in the past 3 years. If there’s anything that gives me joy, it’s when I’m making something. Whether it’s a batch of

Last weekend, I spent a rainy Saturday afternoon at a cozy cafe with some fellow crafty people making cards and envelopes with my brand new Martha Stewart punchers. My friend Mikko has the biggest collection of craft punchers. I’m not even kidding. So when she opened up a craft huddle that came bundled with a
Allow me one #throwbackthursday photo collage before I dive into a flashback trip to San Juan, Batangas. I don’t remember exactly when but I suppose our choice of swimsuits might be an indication that the last time I was in Bahay Marikit was a very long time ago. So when Mikko told me she was
It’s kind of crazy how time speeds up and just like that, it’s already the end of the first half of the year. How did that happen? Just six months ago, I was promising myself a lot of things: to always say yes, to try new things, and to be a little more adventurous in
