A special Limited-Edition Print Issue that comes with a small Raspberry Basket Kit & Pure Radiance Oil with compliments from True Botanicals 

Introducing UNDERWATER MAGAZINE NO. 2 // BOTH SIDES NOW. 

In its second issue, they deepen the thread introduced in Issue No. 1—honoring the basket as a functional object and a quiet vessel of meaning in a time of harvest. Both Sides Now explores the basket as a container for stories of heritage, handwork, and connection across time through rich imagery, personal essays, and artist profiles.

It is a reflection on perspective—how time, experience, and longing reveal the complexities of things once taken for granted. A deeper view into the dual nature of the basket, not just as a tool for harvest, but as a keeper of culture.

Inside, you'll meet craftspeople who preserve and evolve traditional practices, and you'll find prompts to spark creative rituals at home. This issue includes a weaving kit to create a small gathering basket—a gesture toward the wild sweetness of the season and the beauty of shaping something by hand.

Work from Molly Ford, Interviews with Lilli Elias and Renata Zandoni, recipes from Chefs, including Odette Williams, Woldy Reyes, and Tara Thomas, tutorials from UWW Studio founder Erin Pollard, essays from Trinity Mouzon Woffard and Indira Vaidy, contributions from Hannah Millman and Martha Stewart, and photography from Celeste Sloman and more.

ABOUT UNDERWATER WEAVING STUDIO

Underwater Weaving is a basket atelier, creative weaving studio, and community. They make hand-woven, one-of-a-kind contemporary baskets for the trade, retail, and private commission. Through group weaving gatherings, they endeavor to revive the craft of basketry, encourage creative freedom, and offer access to meditation by connecting the hands, heart, and mind with natural materials.

Founder Erin Pollard observed the craft of basketry as a child, watching her mother weave and teach workshops in Maine.  After almost two decades working in fashion in New York, and long after her mother retired, Erin began weaving her own path. Through sharing her woven art, it became clear that many others were seeking an antidote to modern day ennui; a way to reclaim their hands. Soon, Erin and her mother began designing and creating together and Underwater Weaving Studio was born.
