Road Tripping to Maine- Worumbo Mill

Kim Harris, Matt Moore and I went on an inspirational journey last weekend. Kim's blog Alwaysonthegrind.com couldn't have explained it better. From rummaging through her parents antique museum to stumbling across the Worumbo Mills, our creative energy was on an all time high. The most amazing part of the trip was being able to shoot ideas back and forth with my friends as well as Kim's mother, Kathy whom happens to be an amazing craftsperson.. from rug hooking, to glass blowing, her talents and were endless. Women like her inspired me to create FutureCraft.. to make sure my generation keeps traditional crafts alive for years to come.
