What is Once Made?
 
One design, once made 
 
During lockdown phone calls with a friend we explored our draw to design, our passion for the work we were doing and the joy we took from it. The play and experimentation. The possibilities of what could be. Art for arts sake. 
 
It was here I was given the best advice. What if you built your business around these elements. What if playing was the purpose. 
 
“To play is to be in the world; playing is a form of understanding what surrounds us and a way of engaging others. Play goes beyond games; it is a mode of being human”
“Play Matters” by Miguel Sicart 
 
“Once Made” is a gift to my creative mind. A space for intuitive and uninhibited experimentation. 
 
The notion of play brings with it curiosity, new perspectives and grounds us in the present moment. I couldn’t think of a better dynamic to bring into the studio. 
 
Play: to wield lightly and freely, to keep in motion
