Notes: 7/17/12 meeting
Great meeting last night. A huge thanks to member Tanya Fleisher from Winter Session for hosting and opening up her studio and workshop!
She shared with us their original inspirations and prototypes and what they are currently working on and working towards. So much inspiration to see how they have grown in just over 2 years. Great conversations about working collaboratively and balancing a growing business, including moving from piecework to full production and how to do that successfully, as well as the honest bumps in that road to success!
You can view more on their work and inside their studio/workshop here:
