The Intentionality Pledge
Every host answers these before a gathering is published, and is held to them afterwards.
Why it exists
Barkcloth is often treated as a souvenir. Nina treats it as a living material and teaches you to work with it.
The ritual
- Aprons on, sleeves up
- Share every dye bowl
- Sign and swap one print with a stranger
The afterglow
On the ride home, you should feel Artistically Electric.
How the host measures success
Guests leave with three prints and one swapped print.
