What the wax teaches us
about working slowly.

Each panel takes six dye baths over eleven days. The wax decides the schedule, and we have learned not to argue with it.

Before a piece leaves the studio, one of us turns it under daylight and looks for cracks that broke wrong. About one in seven goes back.

Indigo from leaves grown a kilometre away; saffron from turmeric, madder for the maroon. No synthetics enter the dye room.

No two panels share the same veining; it is the closest thing the studio has to a maker's mark, and the only one we trust.
