A Personal Note from Editor in Chief Katie O. Selvidge
As the Captivated Issue makes its debut in stores, a wave of emotions engulfs us. Katie O. Selvidge reflects on the myriad of stories, the vulnerability of its contributors, and the truths that bind us all. Her words resonate, reminding us that in the backdrop of our shared humanity, vulnerability is not weakness, but the cradle of strength.
And as we prepare for the sessions next week, a question looms: "What if tomorrow, it was all gone?" This poignant thought not only colors our work with urgency but also infuses it with meaning. It's a testament to living a life that's true to one's core, finding fulfillment not just in achievements, but each step of the journey.
Tonight, as we share these tales and truths, let us toast to the process, the breakdowns that forge breakthroughs, and the satisfaction found in living intentionally. And as we look ahead, remember that the spirit of the Cottage Hill team can be experienced firsthand. Their workshops promise an immersive dive into crafting your most sincere work.

Whether we are journeying to distant workshops or savoring local flavors, travel interweaves with life, enriching every encounter. It is in these moments — beneath unfamiliar stars or around familiar tables — that we truly grasp the beauty of discovery and the value of companionship.
