The team
Who writes here
Nine people, four cities, one shared conviction that most things worth making take longer than a quarter.
Everyone here came to the desk from somewhere else: a bindery, a darkroom, a lime kiln. What we share is a suspicion of hurry.
-
Amara Okafor
Produces the podcast. Records every conversation twice and keeps the quieter take.
-
Ines Marchetti
Photography editor. Shoots every workshop feature on one battered film camera.
-
Jonas Weber
Draws the maps and the occasional diagram. Trained as a cartographer, still walks every route he draws.
-
Kenji Watanabe
Writes the joinery column from a workshop in Kyoto. Has never owned a power sander.
-
Marcus Oyelaran
Covers workshops and endangered crafts. Previously twelve years at a bindery.
-
Margit Sørensen
Copy editor. Reads every draft aloud before it goes out, and has done since the typewriter years.
-
Sofía Delgado
Translates the letter into Spanish, one week behind the original, on purpose.
-
Theo Lindqvist
Writes the reading columns. Rereads four books a year and abandons forty.
-
Hannah Byrne
Newest on the desk. Writing a year-long series on lime plaster.
