A couple of quick notes this time, as I’m headed to China for a few weeks in April and my days have been as full as they can be.
The first is that due to said travel, April’s Digital Mending Circle will happen on the first Tuesday of the month instead of the second. That’s this coming Tuesday, April 1, from 7:30–9:00PM Eastern. Join me and a small group of Sunday readers for
a virtual co-working session for the kinds of oft-neglected maintenance tasks that accrue around our digital lives. Instead of darning socks and patching jeans, we update personal websites, delete unused accounts, work on side projects, or even just catch up on email.
If you don’t already have the Zoom link, just reply and I’ll send it. I’ll likely spend the time organizing an external drive I’ll need for the trip.
Second: I put together this ~7 minute video for Building Beauty, in which a few of us former students (and current tutors/instructor) talk about the program and its different courses, particularly the Studio (You’ll see some familiar photos if you’ve read the project write-ups from my own experiences.).
Enrollment is open both for the 2025–26 Building Beauty academic year, and for an 8-day intensive this summer in Sicily. I’m also in the process of editing a second, very exciting video of entirely new footage of one of Chris Alexander’s projects. More on that in the months to come.
