It's been a bittersweet week as we bid farewell to our iconic producer, Elizabeth Hunt! After 2 years managing mischief with both grace & style, Liz is off to pursue other adventures. With a huge thank you for keeping our chaos contained, we raise our oat chai lattes - TO LIZ!

"I found myself uniquely in awe of the basic human ability to connect and create... Whatever your preferences in terms of taste or philosophy, that’s a heck of an impressive magic trick... It’s hard for me not to call Adrift some kind of masterpiece."
-MJ O'Neill, NEHIB

Wrapping up the inaugural CAMP COUNTERPILOT (unfortunately a civilised indoor workshop series and not a wilderness retreat... yet).
For the past 4 weeks, we've been working with 20 makers on first stage creative developments...
