BRITISH MADE IN A RAINBOW OF COLOUR - Ark Colour Design was founded in 2015 by Jane Richards and Amy Lindsay. As buyers for our own shop in Cambridge, we have over a decades worth of experience in the gift trade. Drawing from our backgrounds in fashion and fine art, we set about creating products which are fun and affordable, but also well made. All our products are made by a small family run manufacturer in Scotland. The leather is processed in their on-site tannery and then cut and foil embossed to our designs. Because every piece is hand finished with embossing, each one is unique to the next.

Every artist has tools of their trade— knitters have needles and yarn, painters have brushes and easels, stitchers have needles, thread, and fabric — and every artist will tell you the tools of their trade can be expensive, especially when you're just starting out. When you’re looking for a set of supplies to explore a new medium, figuring out what you actually need can be overwhelming and cost-prohibitive. Make & Mend was born out of a desire to change that narrative. Established in 2017 by Somerville artist Emily Tirella, Make & Mend is working to remove the financial barriers to creation by offering gently used art supplies at an accessible rate for seasoned artists and first-timers alike. Like any great work of art, our shop has moved through many forms. Make & Mend was once a brick and mortar space but in March 2020 we said good-bye to our tiny shop and we have now moved to a fully digital platform serving the makers of the Boston artist community and beyond!

Clearline Zine is a Detroit based environmental and sustainable textile zine. Clearline shares voices directly from the artists we highlight in order to hear different perspectives surrounding issues our environment faces. Each issue focuses on micro themes, but always in relation to the overarching themes of textiles and sustainability. We donate a portion of profits from each issue to an organization whose mission correlates with the current theme. We believe there is a clear line between what is right and wrong in the textile industry. There is a clear line line between how we should treat and should not treat our environment. There is a clear line between saying something, and watching these issues continue.

Chances are you’ve eaten a soup, salad, or sandwich in the past day (or maybe all three). This trio makes up so many of our meals but is rarely given the attention it deserves–until now. Matty Matheson, known for his bold, innovative flavors, has created a cookbook that will revolutionize how you think of these kitchen basics.

Find your favorite combination by mixing and matching dishes like:

• Soups: Giant Meatball Soup in Beefy Tomato Broth; Crab Congee; Creamy Sausage Soup with Rapini and Tortellini; Caldo de Pollo   
• Salads: Everyone’s Mom’s Macaroni and Tuna Salad; Griddled Salami Panzanella Salad; Peaches with Goat Cheese, Mint, Honeycomb, and Olive Oil   
• Sandwiches: Cubano; Italian Combo; Sun Warmed Tomato; Banana Bread French Toast with Fried Egg, Peameal Bacon, and Maple Syrup 

Packed with character, personal stories, 126 scrumptious recipes, and vivid photographs of a day-in-the-life.

Jon Kung grew up as a "third-culture" kid: born in Los Angeles, raised in Hong Kong and Toronto, and now living in Detroit, Jon learned to embrace his diasporic identity in the kitchen after pivoting his career from law school graduate to being a cook. When the pandemic shut down his immensely popular popup, he turned to social media—not just as a means of creative expression, but as a way to teach and inspire.  

Over time, Jon discovered that expressing himself through food not only reflected his complicated identities, it affirmed them. From dumplings to the most decadent curried mac and cheese, Jon inspires millions through his creative recipes and content. 

In Kung Food, he breaks the boundaries of flavors in chapters such as:  • Snacky Snacks, Bites, and Cravings (Sesame Shrimp Toast, Vegan Fried Chicken Sandwich) • Noodles & Dumplings (Ginger Scallion Noodles, Buffalo Chicken Rangoon, Lamb Curry Dumplings) • Rice & Congee (“Clay Pot” Rice Tahdig, Mushroom Fried Rice).

Whether you’re a seasoned bartender or a cocktail enthusiast, this book is your ticket to a liquid vacation. Explore classic rum-based recipes like the Mai Tai and the Zombie, as well as other fruity cocktails like the Trotsky and the Woodpecker.

Complete with fabulous retro illustrations to accompany each recipe, along with notes on glassware and garnishes, Tiki Cocktails is your guide to stirring, shaking, and sipping summer drinks.

The Pasta Tarot is a deck for readers of all experience levels, and even for folks who simply love a steamy baked ziti. Rooted in the authors' queer Italian American identities, this 78-card deck and accompanying pamphlet offer readers a contemporary, playful take on tarot.  

The Major Arcana is bursting with pasta-rific pop culture references, renderings of chosen family, drag queens, and iconic divas. You'll find a Corleone with a cannoli, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Sophia Loren, pop star Sophie, and Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera leading a pride parade. And don't get us started on the suits! Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles are replaced by Corta (short pasta), Ripiena (stuffed pasta), Lunga (long pasta), and Minuta (tiny pasta), respectively. That's fifty-six types of pasta!

Zine / pamphlet. 

Being wrong—and realizing it, admitting it, making amends, and learning and moving on—is one of the most difficult life skills out there. Childhood friends Nicole and Jason reunited as adults and teamed up to produce this neatly illustrated, interactive zine that walks you through what it means to be wrong, why we are wrong so often, how our personal experiences and perspectives inform our perceptions, how to figure out if you might be wrong about something, what to do when you are wrong, and how to help others be wrong too. Good stuff.

...and Still Keep In Touch With Your Friends

With a strategy for maintaining your relationships outside the confines of the internet, this little zine is part personal reflection on the merits of unplugging and part instruction manual for successfully extricating yourself from the ever-more-nightmarish world of social media. Author Sylvia Friday reflects on the uses of social media, and offers a critique of the ways that social media (especially for artists) has reduced art to a vacuous process of the capitalist cult of productivity. Friday calls for us to embrace snail mail and the beauty of ink and paper as a way to slow down, be creative in new and different ways, and engage more meaningfully with our friends through the process of writing physical letters on actual pieces of paper.

It is a combination of color and black and white panels. The cover paper is white or ivory cover stock, the inside text weight ivory paper. In addition to illustrating this zine, I print, trim, staple, and fold every zine myself.

We are a few human beings longing for connection / a small printmaking workshop based out of Oakland, California. We specialize in hand-printed & assembled objects, and we're blessed to be able to make them in a small studio by an Oakland farmhouse with a lemon tree. People I've Loved 's works (or pressing issues) intend to facilitate the communication between real, tactile people. Not that we want to deny people their digital selves, we just think there can be room for both. People I've Loved started in 2011 when Carissa Potter left Colpa Press to focus on creating a stationary line that would bridge the gap between people by helping them have authentic and sometimes difficult conversations. Carissa thinks about each card as a form of performance art that choreographs interactions between humans in various types of relationships. Giving in to nostalgic thoughts on the past, buried longings and hopes for the future, People I've Loved's product line embraces the whole range of emotions. We are “in search of the miraculous” yet tragic definition of what it means to exist, in this time and space. And feel that we should make time to share it. Over the years, People I've Loved has had an awesome team. We believe that more brains are better than one, and do all concept development as a team. We talk about our issues & interests as a group and see how we can address them authentically to help people get through their days. Take a deep long breath, things will turn out alright.

Every artist has tools of their trade— knitters have needles and yarn, painters have brushes and easels, stitchers have needles, thread, and fabric — and every artist will tell you the tools of their trade can be expensive, especially when you're just starting out. When you’re looking for a set of supplies to explore a new medium, figuring out what you actually need can be overwhelming and cost-prohibitive. Make & Mend was born out of a desire to change that narrative. Established in 2017 by Somerville artist Emily Tirella, Make & Mend is working to remove the financial barriers to creation by offering gently used art supplies at an accessible rate for seasoned artists and first-timers alike. Like any great work of art, our shop has moved through many forms. Make & Mend was once a brick and mortar space but in March 2020 we said good-bye to our tiny shop and we have now moved to a fully digital platform serving the makers of the Boston artist community and beyond!
