"⁠
My approach has always been to emotionally center my art practice and consider how my day job is serving it.⁠

- Katie Ford

This and other practical insights shared in our interview with artist Katie Ford in our latest post. We were excited to have this conversation while Katie is still in the Hudson Valley before she leaves for grad school later this summer.

Stories from the River — conversation with Lauren Raba.

With a background in education, teaching is still an important aspect to Lauren as an herbalist. The classroom is now nature and nature is also the supplier for her ingredients for

Stories from the River - Conversation with Youngmi Kim⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"The “Autumn Earth” tea cups. The process I used to make the cups is called buncheong in Korean. For each cup, I start with a small ball of clay and I pinch them out into a cup shape. Then when it's slightly dry, I draw on it using white slip (white clay since I use a dark clay body). One stroke of motion to create markings! It's almost like a sumi painting. So every piece is unique in itself. I sometimes scratch more drawing on to the white markings to create more nuance to a cup. It then gets first firing, then the piece is glazed, then it goes into second firing. And then we wait for two days for the kiln to cool to see what arrived from all that process! I always love opening the kiln to see new pots!"⁠⁠

"Now the dream is to continue to allow myself the space to make the things that are most interesting to me at present and stick with that alone. It's less tangible...I’ve realized I can't force my work into those models I find deeply depleting. So now, I allow my work to be, and then allow new models to be formed around that work."⁠⁠

Combining the land and sea. ⁠
⁠
Apis Apotheca’s Flower Sap - Hydration Harmonizer brings together powerful ingredients of rose, seaweed extract and the potent roots of Gromwell (Lithospermum Erythrorhizon). ⁠
⁠
Gromwell was so hard to source that Aviva had to grow it to be able to use it as an ingredient. Starting from seed to cultivating the roots to be substantial for harvesting took two years. ⁠
⁠
Take it from the maker —⁠
⁠
“Proper skin hydration means less dehydration-related blackheads and acne, more skin resistance to stress and hormonal changes, and of course more graceful aging. The plants in this formula strengthen our skin’s natural barrier and reduce trans-epidermal water loss all while attracting a gentle trickle of water molecules to the skin. We didn’t want to use synthetic, unsustainable water-trapping ingredients so common nowadays, but also didn’t want to sacrifice serious results— and we didn’t have to.”

Combine a few drops of Flower Sap with Resin Oil for those days your skin needs some extra TLC.

What are you looking forward to planting this Spring?⁠
⁠
It will be the first season for Apis Apotheca at their new home. ⁠
⁠
“...[Apis Apotheca farms plants that are] bioregional and do well here, which most Western European herbs do–they're built for this climate. We're going to bring in more tropical herbs in the formulas, which we're going to try to grow in other ways here. It's just a process of experimentation. There's lots unexplored in terms of tropical plants in the Northeast. A friend grew Meyer lemons that I recently harvested from a little tree that she gave me. That tree started in New Hampshire. It's fascinating how much you can grow here.” ⁠

M+C by Hudson River Exchange

Made + Collected is a new local annual publication where readers can find & hire creatives in the Hudson Valley. It reflects the unique experience of living in a region where every day we see, feel, touch, eat and drink the best made, grown, and collected in our community. By working with regional contributors - makers, collectors, and practitioners - it serves as a capsule celebrating the rich creative ecosystem that exists here.

M+C evolved from wanting to create an event program for our summer events to something that could be more functional and have a longer shelf-life. As lovers of print and creativity, this project melds our passions and offers a tool for the community to find, hire and celebrate creativity in the Hudson Valley.

The first edition of this magazine + creative services directory will only exist in print and you’ll be able to pick up the first copies at our 6th Annual Summer Market. We will distribute M+C around select locations in the Hudson Valley and will be available online.

Creativity loves company. Celebrate with us!
