craighton berman
we recently made a couple of new friends at camp- emily berman (co host of the fall craft camp weekend) & her equally talented husband, Craighton Berman. I had been obsessed with his coil lamp for some time, and then when we checked out the rest of his work, decided that he had to have his own post!
