art + learning


this year we were able to do some of our favorite things.

we designed tea towels with two creative growth artists, 
and with each sale we donate 100% of the profits 
to support their artist programs in downtown oakland ca.
 

and we bought 5 desks for primary school students 
in mali, west africa. mali kalanso is a non-profit, 
volunteer run school that was built last year by a good friend of ours.

thank you

each year with your support our studio grows 
and we can give to these programs that are dear to our heart!


happiest of holidays to you.
