David Marc Schafer is a native of San Diego, California.
His love for tooling came early: as a young boy he
discovered the latent potential of the tools in his father's
garage. In their efforts emerged a pursuit for mechanical
perfection, and David was energized by method, precision,
and the dedicated connection between hand and tool.

David received a Bachelor of Architecture from the
University of Arizona in 2000 and is licensed by the
State of California to practice architecture.

David is now in Detroit in order to more closely investigate
the act of making. He is in the Metalsmithing department
at Cranbrook Academy of Art pursuing an MFA.

Im Sarasalin Schafer was born in Kansas and raised in
Bangkok by her parents, a painter and an illustrator. Their
work and life intertwined, and they inevitably shared their
paintbrushes and watercolors with Im.

She moved to Tucson-- charged by the desert-- and
received a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of
Arizona in 2003. She is an architect licensed by the State
of California.

Im is currently working towards an MFA in Ceramics at
Cranbrook Academy of Art. In this new medium she works
at the intersection of hand and machine craft.
