    #38 Tai Lake – Hawaii Artists Collaboration (revisit)

    I happened across Tai Lake and the Hawaii Artists Collaboration by accident, and I am so grateful that I did. In this episode, Tai shares his perspectives on the creative power of collaboration and the ability to bring together masters of the craft to grow their skills and their vocabulary. I found his enthusiasm for collaboration more than a little infectious, and I am grateful that we were able to connect. Our conversation makes me think about the kind of people we bring into collaborative work and the level of maturity or mastery in an area of expertise that they represent. Tai talks about leaving your ego out and coming together to raise the state of the craft overall.  I’m sure you will enjoy this conversation with a master furniture builder on the Hawaii Artists Collaboration.  Some links to some of the things we discuss during this episode:  Tai Lake WoodworkingHawaii Artists CollaborationDanish architectEero Saarinen:"Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan" - Eero Saarinen.Emma Lake CollaborationCollaborationNZJake James - BlacksmithHenry Pomfret – There was no specific link for Henry, but I did find this link to a blacksmithing demonstration at the International Blacksmithing event in 2016.Lisa Geertsen - Blacksmith Your host for the Cool Collaborations podcast is Scott Millar.
