Plated and served: 🍽️✨ Our Ancient Courses Napkin Ring is a sculptural tribute to the legacy of the Mississippi River — whose waters, ever responsive to the forces of nature, have altered course, yet never ceased to carve their way forward. 💪🌊🌿✨

A River Runs Through It: 🎺⚓🦢🚢

Introducing our brand new heirloom napkin rings: inspired by ancient paths of the Mississippi River across thousands of years of its geological history.

We created these pieces by carefully hand-tracing historic meander maps of the Mississippi with pencil on vellum, re-tracing each river digitally, then interweaving them manually to create the models for casting.

These are the first pieces in an ongoing collection celebrating the rhythms and grace of natural geography shaped by the passage of time. Designed to honor familiar landscapes, this series aims to ground social gatherings in the shared terrain that connects generations. 🎆🎇

Autism is an illegible feature

"How disabling it is depends as much on your social circumstances as it does on your symptoms."
"It turns out that, actually, most people are uncomfortable around social difference and get considerably less comfortable when you point it out."

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

What people mean, therefore, by the struggle for life is really the struggle for success. What people fear when they engage in the struggle is not that they will fail to get their breakfast next morning, but that they will fail to outshine their neighbours.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 3 “Competition” (1930)
