These are some things I'm on the look out for. If you have a lead or a recommendation to share, please be in touch! For objects/things, I like buying secondhand where possible, and I’m also open to trades. You can find some of my recommendations for apps and tools on my /uses page, also.

Recommendations

  • what e-bike should I get?
  • bass lessons or classes, in person or online — I have a micro-bass
  • mushroom or plant foraging classes, meetups, etc
  • always love getting reading recs. I read widely, but especially love being introduced to new climate fiction, sci-fi, or fun detective/spy/heist reads
  • invitations to places to table at zine fests, art book fairs or give workshops, talks or be on panels

Things

  • a rainbow Peugeot bike frame for someone 6’ tall (my white whale!)
  • Tom Killian print
  • Akari light sculptures
  • Panthella lamp
  • Greta Grossman Grasshopper lamp
  • Square Eames coffee table
  • old eames fiberglass chair, especially in pink/salmon
  • a Smart Scoop Breville ice cream maker
  • secondhand Hasami or Heath
  • old Apartamento magazines

Sewing / craft

  • vintage silk to sew clothes and quilts/curtains with
  • vintage fabrics to dye and marble
  • vintage nature books for reference or collaging, especially plant, fungus and animal identification guides
  • Juki TL-2000qi semi-industrial sewing machine

Printmaking related things

We can take your extra reams or partial reams of paper, especially 11x17 size, for risograph printing! We like to do mini residencies with other artists or make fun giveaway/community projects when we come into a stash of free/cheap paper.

Big priorities for the studio:

  • electric cutter with 19+” cutting capacity and spare blade (similar to these), with digital adjustment for the cut size
  • electric collator tower, 10 bin, tabletop size. extra awesome if it can connect to our Stitch-n-fold B2000 binding machine

Also on the lookout for:

  • MF-9450 compatible drums
  • Blu Dot Strut 75” Bar Height table like this
  • adjustable height artist stools like these
  • flat files
  • architectural plotter printer
  • soft touch laminator (maybe)
  • screenprint hinges or squeegees
  • screenprint vacuum table
  • fine art tear bar, 24, 36 or 48” (similar to this)
  • an electric scoring/creasing/perforation machine
  • a digital microscope
