We’re back for Season 3! This season’s theme is “Slow Down,” and I’ve got some wonderful guests lined up to explore this topic with you.
Shele Jessee grew up in rural Northern California and currently makes her home on the beautiful Central Coast. She makes her living as an independent designer, artisan hide tanner, and rancher. Her brand, Hollow Bone, is dedicated to helping others live the ranch life, and to creating well-made timeless pieces, made by artisans out of natural materials, which are salvaged from their respective industries.
Hollow Bone is more than a brand. It is a dedication to the future and the health of our culture. It is a love story about raw materials, a handmade life, and a love of land.
