Writing

An ongoing study of the Ming tradition, anchored to whatever joint is being cut or form being drawn. Technical, historical, opinionated. Me with my maker hat on, thinking out loud about a tradition I'm obsessed with.

800–1,500 words, published when they're ready rather than on a schedule. Each one starts in a physical moment and follows a single thread until it finds something worth saying.

Roughly 350 words each, sent every Friday. The major event of the week — workshop, kitchen, garden, whatever is honest — followed by two short paragraphs on the other domains. A postcard from someone you like.

Short, unpolished, phone-camera photos. Published often — sometimes several times a week — whenever something worth recording happens in the workshop. Not essays. Not dispatches. Brush notes.
