This issue of Silkworm reflects on the many ways art brings us together.

We start with a feature on A Leafy Seadragon’s Tale by the ever-inspiring Susan Louis Moyer. A project years in the making, Susan has created a book that’s as educational as it is enchanting. It weaves together art, science and storytelling into something truly special.

You will also find our annual Artist's Gift Guide. From diy projects to treasures from our members, we’ve curated a collection that’s equal parts thoughtful and fun.

To finish, we take a moment to honor the extraordinary Diane Tuckman. Diane< wasn't just SPIN's co-founder, she was also responsible for introducing silk painting to American artists. Today, this community continues her legacy.
