Introducing UNDERWATER MAGAZINE NO. 2 // BOTH SIDES NOW.
In its second issue, we 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. We include 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.
Dimensions: 8.5 x 11 | 80+ Pages
Details
Artisan Made: Designed and handcrafted by Erin and Peggy Pollard and a small team of weavers in Maine and New York.
Note: Due to the freehand nature of our practice, each basket is one-of-a-kind and may vary slightly in shape and size. Each piece holds the maker's spirit.
Materials: 100% Rattan Core, including substantial one-inch rattan for a structural feel. Sourced from an abundant Climbing Palm in Southeast Asia through local longtime partners.
Color: We use non-toxic, organic, natural dyes. Each piece is finished in our Maine Studio. Enjoy natural color variations from the plant fibers.
Care
For indoor use. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Rattan is a natural and flexible plant fiber. If misshapen during use, firmly mold back into place.
