A true behind-the-scenes experience! Thank you to Block Shop and RAD Furniture for hosting our summer interns on an inspiring studio tour exploring the connection between branding and fabrication. At Block Shop, co-founder Hopie Hill and team shared the story of their textile design practice, meaningful global partnerships, and brand evolution—followed by a hands-on block printing workshop using traditional techniques. At RAD, founder Ryan Anderson and co-owner Russell Hill gave us an inside look at furniture manufacturing with a live steel cutting and welding demo, while sharing how the brand’s ethos and aesthetic stays true to its roots. We’re grateful to both studios for giving artworxLA interns the VIP treatment—and, most importantly, for showing us how passion can grow into a lasting brand. (fb)
