Creative Practitioner @ Multistory
Selected this as 3rd choice
I’m Adrienne.
I work with communities. I work with artists. I think I belong to both. I write. I make things. I write about the things I’ve made.
I like shiny things, handmade things, things with history and things that are new. I always have big plans, and am always busy. I’m terrible on the phone, not bad at 140 characters, and downright awesome at hand-written letters.
I love learning.
I love printing, photography, drawing, writing, sewing, knitting, spinning, welding, and many other ways of making besides.
