For this issue, San Francisco–based writer Deborah Bishop visited The Butterfly Joint, a woodworking studio designed for children. Bishop pens stories for a number of outlets, including American Craft. “I seem to write about a lot of people who define themselves as ‘makers,’” Bishop says. “Speaking as someone who possesses few hands-on skills, I’m both envious and encouraged. And it’s heartening that more than half the kids taking workshops at the studio are girls.”
