A foundational part of Lapstone & Hammer's mission is to support and collaborate with creators of all kinds to translate the passion they have for their crafts to the world at large. That is the impetus behind the Lapstone Artist Series, an ongoing collaborative project where we will partner with artists to curate special projects based on their own designs. For this edition of the series we want to shine a light on the creative contributions of some of our very own team members to show that artistry isn't confined to just the items in our store, but lives within the people who work here as well.

The Lapstone Artist Series Vol. 2 will feature three members of our staff: photographer Daquan Harris, graphic designer Na'im Cook, and sales associate/designer Kharon Basil-Lewis. Each of these talented individuals will receive a spotlight to present their personal and professional passions inside our shop. Daquan will be displaying a gallery of his photography, Na'im has created a digital art installation, and Lapstone will host a pop-up for Kharon's brand, KONFVSEDROSE.
