Quick look: Field + Foundry with Bing dinner in Baltimore
This past weekend marked the second Field + Foundry dinner with Bing. Quite simply, wow. Our Baltimore gathering, not unlike our first dinner in Virginia, has left me at a loss for words. For now I can sum it up as this: the people (simply amazing), the food (still dreaming of it), the setting (it's a former chicken box -- awesome in it's own right and so many others) and the people, wow, I did I mention they were phenomenal folks? This dinner was the midpoint in the 3-part series that Laicie and I are hosting. Each gathering, in addition to a great meal, includes an opportunity to learn something new (Laicie orchestrated an *awesome* bitters workshop!) and speakers who share their own creative experience (Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr, a husband and wife team, spoke about the collaborative process -- you *must* watch their Tedx talk). (Side note: Robbi and Matthew are pictured in one of the first few photos below -- very serious and intense folks! Guys, you two are amazing!)
Once I've gathered my thoughts and had a bit of sleep so I can dream about the delicious pies, I'll share more in a separate post, including Reema's photos -- which will be stunning and truly capture the magic of the evening.
Farmhouse Pottery // Woodstock, VT (Act I)
Instagram is my favorite social media platform hands down. Apart from keeping me informed about everything anything of interest, it's been both a tremendous creative outlet and means by which I've connected with *so* many wonderful people locally and afar. (The list is long and one which I'll soon share.)
Enter Zoe and James.
As is often the case, I'm not entirely sure how our paths first crossed on Instagram, but boy am I glad they did! I could fill a post with just how fantastic they are, but that would only be half of the story. In a few short years they've launched a pottery line that's evolving into an exceptional well-crafted lifestyle brand -- Farmhouse Pottery. Aesthetics, craftsmanship, and functionality aside (it tops the charts in all three), the simple beauty of what they're building is such a natural extension of who they are.
Bless folks who let a random person with a camera and an energetic Goldendoodle come hang out for an afternoon. I spent an afternoon at Farmhouse Pottery in late July. At the time they'd only been in their brick-and-mortar digs (an old Bible bindery!) for a few short months though you'd have never known! I left with great new friends and Mollie thoroughly exhausted. Win and win. This is the first installation of photos from that visit; the workshop gets a post unto itself.
Since you'll want to bookmark it, here's the Farmhouse Pottery website. Hang out with them on Instagram while you're at it!
