On our Australian journey, we visited Doug and Danika in Albury, NSW, whose story graced the cover of our seventh edition of We Are Makers. Meeting them and their family was a highlight of our trip. Danika and Doug met while studying design at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney in 2005. Their passion for letterpress began in the UK, where they started collecting wood type blocks from charming markets. Back in Australia in 2011, they won a fierce eBay auction for a 1920s Chandler & Price letterpress named 'Wendy', previously housed in a soon-to-be-demolished hospital. With little experience but plenty of enthusiasm, they learned the art of letterpress from Des, a former printer and mentor who taught at a printing museum in Sydney. Des, who once taught letterpress through a rigorous five-year apprenticeship, generously shared his weekends to help them master the craft. WANT TO SUPPORT THIS PODCAST?

On our trip to Australia, we took a flight to Adelaide to meet Heath who was featured in our 2nd Edition of We Are Makers. We were so excited to finally meet and to hear how business has been since March 2021. Timberwolf Design was initiated part-time by its founder Heath Polkinghorne in a modest garden shed (3m x 2m) back in 2015. Recognizing the need for more space to grow, Heath constructed a larger shed (10m x 5m) in 2017 to transition into furniture making full-time. Within two years, the his business had expanded beyond the confines of the home workshop, prompting a move to a 400m2 warehouse in Henley Beach in 2019. The journey from a backyard shed to a full-scale workshop with employees has been immensely challenging yet rewarding. Despite the difficulties, the experience of working independently and running a business remains unparalleled, though it comes with its set of challenges.

The exquisite artistry and craftsmanship of their custom-made frames inspired him deeply, sparking the birth of his own brand, 3RRR Products. Nao began by crafting intricate chain rings, but his enthusiasm for the craft soon evolved into a burning desire to build his own custom bicycle frames. With every frame he created, Nao found comfort and fulfillment, realizing that frame building had become his own form of sculpture.We Are MakersInsta: @weare_makersWebsite: https://wearemakers.shopTomii CyclesInsta: @tomii_cycles Website: https://www.tomiicycles.com/NomonoInsta: @nomonosoundWebsite: https://nomono.co/Youtube: @NomonoSoundLike this podcast and want to watch it?

We travelled to meet Rebecca and Craig of Struthers Watches in their workshop in Leek, England. We featured their story in Edition Two of our biannual publication; We Are Makers. It was great to catch up two years later to finally meet and have a more in-depth conversation about them and their journey.   Recently Rebecca has written her own book. Written by Rebecca Struthers and illustrated by Craig, you can order her first book 'Hands of Time', A Watchmaker's History of Time. Hands of Time is an intricate and uniquely personal exploration of the history, science, philosophy, and craft of timekeeping."When we were at uni, which is where we originally met, the two of us brought down the average age of the watchmaking course by about 40 years. One of the other students joked that time becomes more interesting the less of it that you have. It was like a retirement hobby as opposed to a career. But the watch industry has been growing massively in recent years. One school in Manchester started to teach basic manufacturing about 15 years ago, and we're now seeing graduates from that course setting up their own workshops after an initial spell in industry. The industry is getting younger and it's really promising to see." - Extract from Ed.2We Are Makers Insta: @weare_makersWebsite: https://wearemakers.shop/Struthers Interview was published in Edition Two of We Are Makers.Available for purchase:  https://www.wearemakers.shop/shop#!/Edition-TwoStruthers Watches Insta: @strutherswatchmakersWebsite: https://strutherswatchmakers.co.ukRebecca's book: https://strutherswatchmakers.co.uk/updates/2023/1/12/hands-of-time-is-now-available-for-pre-order - Like this podcast and want to watch it?

We flew to Montegenvere, France to meet Andy Carr of Spoon Customs. This is the place it all started for him."I ran away to France, initially thinking I'd just go for a couple of months and get some head space. But once I got there, I started driving a transfer bus for a friend's company, and I would pass all these landmarks from some of the world's top pro-cycling events. I had found myself pretty much by accident in the best cycling area in the world, just above a town called Montgenèvre. The Tour de France has started and finished a stage there, and the Giro came through my village. And if you roll down that mountain, you're then on a road that stretches all the way to Venice, and everybody who's anybody in bike manufacturing is along that road. It was great to be near all those craftspeople making the kind of bikes I wanted to build. So I just got my head down and got to work."

We took at trip over to Knock which is located in the county of Banffshire, UK to meet Gordon Bruce at Knockdhu Distillery, home of anCnoc Whisky."We make whisky. I manage a very small, very traditional distillery in North East Scotland. The emphasis is very much on having people take care of production rather than rely on technology and computers and modern-fangled things like that. The 21st century is overrated, grossly overrated.The distillery operates 24/7, with basically zero automation. We can only do that because of the guys we have here – it's a team of five now. The guys will spend the whole shift on their feet, they're continually moving.

We took at trip over to Belgium to meet Bart Deseyn at his home and to see his workshop and work.“I first built a kayak about 15 years ago. I have a young son, Emiel – well, he's not so young anymore – but he wanted to go kayaking with me when he was young. We started out on little lakes and canals and when he was aged six or seven, he said that he wanted to go with me on the trips I do. I thought it was perhaps not that safe for him to be in his own kayak, so we built a very rudimentary canoe back then. And then we built another canoe for a friend, and it just grew and grew.”We Are Makers Insta: @weare_makersWebsite: https://wearemakers.shop/Bart DeseynInsta: @freerangercanoeWebsite: www.freerangercanoe.comThe discussions and opinions in the podcast are not necessarily the opinions of us (We Are Makers).Like this podcast and want to watch it?

We took at trip over to Belgium to the lovely town of Ghent to meet Winne in his workshop."People would describe me as a musician and an instrument maker. Both of these things go hand in hand, with one getting the upper hand over the other at times. Sometimes I switch more to performing and doing scoring jobs, and at other times I focus more on the making of the instruments. For me, it's very hard to find the right words for exactly what I do. I just follow my feelings and my intuition. I think I'm a sound sculptor as well, in a way, both when I make the instruments and when I play them."We Are Makers Insta: @weare_makersWebsite: https://wearemakers.shop/Winne ClementInsta: @mesmerizingsoundsWebsite: www.fujaraflutes.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@1fujaraThe discussions and opinions in the podcast are not necessarily the opinions of us (We Are Makers).If you would like to hear more podcasts, please subscribe and like this video!Like this podcast and want to watch it?

We took at trip over to Belgium to the lovely town of De Haan to meet Maximus in his workshop."You will find me today in a small workshop in De Haan, a village on Belgium's coastline, which is where I was born and raised. My surroundings are my source of inspiration: away from man-made noise, you can hear the waves landing on the beach, or you can find yourself in the heart of a forest. My name is Maximus, and I am a sculptor.The creation of wooden sculptures is the result of my many years of passion for wood. It started from a young age at school, where I learned the craft of general woodworking. Specialising in carpentry and furniture design, I wanted to elevate my potential with wood. After a year of historical furniture restoration and learning lathe work, I was eager to learn more about what was possible. Grateful to have such an amazing parent who supported my interest in wood, I sought and found my next big opportunity that would change my life and push my limits once more. I was accepted into Institut Saint-Luc Tournai, an art college in Tournai, Belgium."We Are Makers Insta: @weare_makersWebsite: https://wearemakers.shop/Maximus Insta: @maximus_sculptorWebsite: https://maximus-sculptor.com/The discussions and opinions in the podcast are not necessarily the opinions of us (We Are Makers).If you would like to hear more podcasts, please subscribe and like this video!Like this podcast and want to watch it?

We took at trip to visit the lovely Zoe Wilson in her workshop in Houghton, Hampshire, England. "Continuing the tradition of skills passed from master to apprentice has shaped my career and is at the heart of my work. My stone carving is simple in its manufacture, using only a mallet and chisel, but born from a wealth of knowledge gleaned over the years from highly skilled craftspeople. I once read that craft is the “seemingly impossible skill of making something by hand. Perfectly.” This is precisely how I feel about carving. For me, craft is also about the personal relationship between the maker and the material. I feel a huge amount of respect for stone as a raw material and feel a responsibility to always strive to create pieces worthy of it.

We took a trip to meet Barney at Capreolus distillery at his childhood home where he works from today. "The Cotswolds have been a constant influence through my life. Growing up in this most idyllic region of England I was surrounded by flower rich grasslands, ancient woodlands scented with lily of the valley, historic orchards and the wildlife that inhabited them. A love of nature was a natural development and led to my former life as a photojournalist specialising in conservation stories - supplying non-profit media to over 118 countries – a perfect way to find, experience and capture these rare and precious moments. Finding fruit distilling came as a natural extension to this discipline." - Barney WilczakWe Are Makers Insta: @weare_makersWebsite: https://wearemakers.shop/Capreolus Distillery Insta: @capreolusdistilWebsite: https://www.capreolusdistillery.co.uk/The discussions and opinions in the podcast are not necessarily the opinions of us (We Are Makers).Like this podcast and want to watch it?

We took a trip to visit Jamie and Lucy who run Banton Frameworks to have a long-form conversation about their business and what it's like to be a small business. They handmake spectacles and sunglasses frames from their workshop by Banton Loch, just outside Kilsyth, near Glasgow.  Extract from Edition Three, We Are Makers.Why do what you do?"It stems from Lucy's project. Behind every business there's some degree of a problem being solved – in Lucy's case, a dissatisfaction with what was available from her optician at the time. Naively, we thought that we could do it better. We can now, but it took us almost a decade to get here. The result is better and, to us, much more personal to the wearer than mass manufactured frames made in their thousands. Eyewear is almost like perfume or aftershave: apply the same perfume to 10 different people and it will smell 10 different ways. I think glasses are very much like that. Glasses are such a crucial implement – they help people see – but they are also a very personal and intimate item, as eyewear is a huge part of the wearer's identity. Glasses are quite simple objects – figures of eight with sticks on either side – but when you wear that frame for up to 16 hours a day, it represents you. I think it's important to have eyewear that is made well. I don't see it as any different to having a tailored suit, a smart pair of brogues or a nice handbag.Frames can be very mass produced and almost loveless: you go into an optician and see rows on the wall and they're basically just lens holders. Some manufacturers who we admire make very nice frames, but generally, mainstream optical brands lack the magic that we strive to produce. So why do we do it? We do it because eyewear is a balance of fashion, identity and medical aid. We think that's a pretty important range of roles for a single item." - Jamie BartlettThis video podcast was filmed in Banton Frameworks workspace in Kilsyth, Glasgow.Useful links:We Are Makers Insta: @weare_makersWebsite: https://wearemakers.shop/Banton Frameworks Insta: @bantonframeworksWebsite: https://www.bantonframeworks.co.uk/The discussions and opinions in the podcast are not necessarily the opinions of us (We Are Makers).Like this podcast and want to watch it?

Stephen:“All my life I have been a maker, from using glue and matchsticks when I was a kid to carving stone for my degree in sculpture.I have always had a desire to make things with great value, that would be greatly appreciated and stand the test of time and would even one day become a family heirloom.Everything is so cheaply produced these days that it takes the value out of thingsJewellery has always been produced to commemorate a moment; the reign of a new king or queen, coming of age, a marriage, anniversary or birthday, the piece is made to remember and to celebrate.

We Are Makers ha rotto le palle. Diciamolo.

We Are Makers ha rotto le palle. Diciamolo.

Abbiamo parlato di presente e futuro dei Makers, l'artigianato digitale in Italia, automobili, marketing, panettoni stampati in digitale, fuoriserie costruite su misura. We Are Makers!Gioacchino Acampora Architetto e designer è nato a Milano nel 1968, dove si laurea costruendo un’automobile funzionante a dimostrazione della propria tesi che vuole il recupero della “cultura materiale”: fondere il sapere artigiano con le insorgenti tecnologie di rapid prototyping che oggi chiamiamo 4.0.Attivo nei settori del product design e dell’architettura, ha una predilezione per il corporate design inteso come visione del sistema azienda-prodotto, di idee pensate per il brand che già possano esprimere una possibile strategia di comunicazione.Dopo collaborazioni con i più importanti studi di design automobilistico, vive direttamente l’esperienza della grande azienda lavorando in FIAT sullo sviluppo prodotto e sull’innovazione dei processi.Dal 1994, utilizzando il brand Castagna Milano, mette a frutto le proprie esperienze che applica al mondo del taylor made: rinascono le automobili fuoriserie per la clientela privata e oggetti di design in singolo esemplare.Nel 2014 per la Biennale di Architettura, con Daniel Libeskind costruisce nel Padiglione Venezia la “Quarta Macchina dell’Architettura: sonnets in Babylon”.La passione per il cibo e per la tecnologia si fondono nella teorizzazione della cucina digitale: PRIMO è il primo piatto 3D caldo della storia. Una semplice “pasta al pomodoro” che apre il dibattito sul gusto digitale del cibo.Con questa forte esperienza sui materiali edibili nasce la “stampa organica” di qualsiasi materiale. Grazie allo sviluppo di un software specifico e stampanti 3D a 5 assi, è possibile produrre pezzi in piccolo e grandissimo formato nei più svariati materiali naturali o sintetici appositamente creati.

We Are Makers!Gioacchino Acampora Architetto e designer è nato a Milano nel 1968, dove si laurea costruendo un’automobile funzionante a dimostrazione della propria tesi che vuole il recupero della “cultura materiale”: fondere il sapere artigiano con le insorgenti tecnologie di rapid prototyping che oggi chiamiamo 4.0.Attivo nei settori del product design e dell’architettura, ha una predilezione per il corporate design inteso come visione del sistema azienda-prodotto, di idee pensate per il brand che già possano esprimere una possibile strategia di comunicazione.Dopo collaborazioni con i più importanti studi di design automobilistico, vive direttamente l’esperienza della grande azienda lavorando in FIAT sullo sviluppo prodotto e sull’innovazione dei processi.Dal 1994, utilizzando il brand Castagna Milano, mette a frutto le proprie esperienze che applica al mondo del taylor made: rinascono le automobili fuoriserie per la clientela privata e oggetti di design in singolo esemplare.Nel 2014 per la Biennale di Architettura, con Daniel Libeskind costruisce nel Padiglione Venezia la “Quarta Macchina dell’Architettura: sonnets in Babylon”.La passione per il cibo e per la tecnologia si fondono nella teorizzazione della cucina digitale: PRIMO è il primo piatto 3D caldo della storia. Una semplice “pasta al pomodoro” che apre il dibattito sul gusto digitale del cibo.Con questa forte esperienza sui materiali edibili nasce la “stampa organica” di qualsiasi materiale. Grazie allo sviluppo di un software specifico e stampanti 3D a 5 assi, è possibile produrre pezzi in piccolo e grandissimo formato nei più svariati materiali naturali o sintetici appositamente creati.

Poincarè diventò un saggista prolifico intorno ai trent'anni. Sembrava avere fretta, e infatti morì prematuramente a 58 anni. Andava talmente di corsa che ne i suoi testi non si preoccupava di correggere gli errori grammaticali e di battitura, anche quando li notava, poichè lo considerava un cattivo uso del tempo.Da un ispirazione di Francesco Richichi.Scrivimi ispirazioni idee e suggerimenti su Telegram ahttps://t.me/marcoputelliIl canale di We Are Makers https://t.me/marcoputellipodcast
