How We Were Raised
Jacqueline Dougherty — Lodi, CA, United States

About
Two burners from different sides of the country met on playa and discussed their childhoods. While so much was different, adorably similar memories shined through. "Remember those beaded lizards?" "My mom still has all of mine!" "I gave all mine away." How We Were Raised is a conversation inspired by a childhood craft and what we might choose to do with something we create. Were you raised to cherish your efforts? Or to gift to those around you? The adults that we become are so influenced by those who are around us when we're young, and then we are the adults. How do we learn how to gift to those in our community? Or outside of it? Would you teach your children the same as you were taught?
