North Bennet St School in #Boston is an amazing craft and trade school full of #makers and artisans learning traditional skills.

There's no #lace track, but there are neat niches that they teach.

Anyway, they have been offering a series of talks on "Crafting a Business" in these niche areas that I have found interesting even though it's not my niche. Good advice and ideas.

Here are their recordings:

Doing size tests for the lawn poetry concept.... I thought 1.5"/4cm would be big enough but I fear the words would get lost in grass. I thought 3.5"/9cm would be too bulky but it might be just right. Going to sleep on it

#makers #poetry #LawnPoetry

Hey #makers what material would you use for this project?

I want to make a set of lawn poetry, like magnetic fridge poetry but with non-magnetic and bigger pieces to play on the ground outside with friends.

I want it to be big enough to read off the ground while standing, and light enough to easily bring to picnics. Looking at the magnetic sets, I am guessing I will make 400-500 word tiles (ranging from "a" to e.g., "bedazzled")
