Studio H's Coops
Cool coops designed and built by high school kids in North Carolina's Studio H program.
Studio H is a high school design/build curriculum for rural community benefit. The one-year program is offered to Junior-year students of the Bertie County school district in North Carolina, providing college credit, a summer job, and a hands-on opportunity to build real-world projects for the community. By learning through a design sensibility and “dirt-under-your-fingernails” construction skills, we’re developing creativity, critical thinking, citizenship, and capital to give students the skills they need to succeed, while building the assets the community needs to survive. Given the opportunity to engage within a public education system, we believe the next generation will be the greatest asset and untapped resource in rural communities’ futures.

California
It's April. The big bright white thing in the sky has been seen a few times. The garden bug is back. The raspberries I planted last year are putting up tons of new sprouts. I built a rustic compost bin so I no longer have a view a big messy pile of decaying food in the back yard (I detest the plastic ones.) Tulips, bleeding heart, and the little star magnolia blossoms are magnificent.
T Magazine has a feature on Judy Kameon this morning. Her work is capturing my imagination, bringing vivid impressions of warm summer mornings in exquisite California landscapes. See more at Elysian Landscapes. Bring me my sari and sandals!
