Gorgeous photography by Jenn Bakos (with supplemental by Hannah Thiessen Howard)
All things Gaudi: as much architecture and beautiful tilework as we can capture.

An introduction to indie dyers throughout Spain.
Journal-style writings from our team, plus in-depth essays by featured writers.
Day-trips to additional locations, like Restiro Park (and the Glass Palace), local gardens Horta Labyrinth and Mossen Costa i Llobera, the Caramel Bunkers and Cascada Fountain.

Expect this issue to be exuberant, colorful, and rich in pattern and texture. I can't wait to go and I can't wait to take you along with us in even more depth.
The endpaper and spine color will be that bright, sunshine yellow!
