About the Event
Join for a curated show and conversation featuring local designers Nick Pourfard and Ryan Shoemaker. Hosted by Coffee and Tea Collective, it is open to the public as COVID-19 response and prevention allows. The conversation surrounding this collection of designs centers around what it means to be coming of age in 2020, and how the two makers are responding to the landscape, both physical and virtual, that produced them. In addition to the physical show at C&T Collective, the conversation and walk through is virtually available here.
C&T Collective has graciously welcomed this Design Week event and is launching a specialty coffee box in conjunction with the show.
