Sappi's 2013 Ideas that Matter catalog -- Weymouth Design is designing and producing Sappi's 2013 Ideas that Matter catalog which will feature the 2011 grant recipients. Our Rural Studio website project will be featured as one of the completed projects.

Open Studio -- We've recently relocated to a new, beautiful studio in Southeast Portland at SE 11th and Division. That's the Ford Building. On June 7th we'll be having an open house. Stop by and say hi to me, Kate, Jason, Tina, and Will.

Currently

Object Focus: The Bowl - I've recently contributed text to the MoCC's new exhibition which focuses on the subject of "the bowl". I've written about one bowl in particular, a 1934 ice bucket by Russel Wright. What I found most interesting about it is what isn't there. Read my brief essay at objectfocusbowl.tumblr.com to find out why.

ruralstudio.org - Made possible by a grant from Sappi Ideas that Matter, we worked with Armchair Media in Atlanta to build a very needed new website for the Rural Studio.

The art of making things happen - Foreword to Bracket Vol. 05: Hustle. Available now.

Rural Studio 20th Anniversary Campaign - Crafting a campaign and identity for Rural Studio 20, a year-long 20th birthday celebration.

Mentoring - For the fourth semester in a row, I'm mentoring at the PNCA/OCAC Applied Craft + Design graduate program. I'm also on a practicum committee or two.

CEEB - A tumblr where I pin up things that I find interesting. The name derives from what people always end up shortening my name to. Because "CB" is too many syllables?

Recent

California Vernacular -- I worked on the layout of Liz Kuball's new zine California Vernacular which captures, through her photography, what it's like to live in the land of golden dreamers.

This, Here - A pop-up blog, with Nicole Lavelle, about Design Week Portland. Our studio writing club is responding to what we experience at #DWPDX in a real-time experiment in fast criticism.
