Scuba diver Jinbi Park draws inspiration from the ocean’s marvels.  As coral reefs die from global warming, pollution, and overfishing, Jinbi creates jewelry with reef-like motifs to share the ocean’s splendor with those who might never see a living reef. @CraftShowSWC

Amy Krone delights in giving new life to old, discarded things. As climate change increases the frequency of major flooding events, accelerating erosion along stream banks & breaking off the roots of riparian trees, Amy collects those roots to integrate into baskets @CraftShowSWC

Inspired by Nerikomi (a Japanese technique for stacking clay to make porcelain), Trey Jones developed a method for creating furniture by stacking salvaged plywood. He estimates his studio’s use of the technique has prevented over 3,000 pounds of wood from going to the landfill.
