Manifesto

Who is Bunny Huggins you ask?

A Jill-of-all trades with an MFA in Metalsmithing and a shop with more tools than you can swing a dead cat at, I’ve been crafting metal for as long as Sonic Youth has been making records.

Having lived the DIY lifestyle for longer than there’s been an acronym for it, I’ve made everything from utilitarian household objects to backyard billboards to clothing to housing for my daughter, my tools, and me. I insist on a life in which art, craft and livelihood are merged. My current incarnation: a designer and fabricator of apparel and jewelry for the literate, hip, style conscious person. I place the highest value on things that are entirely made by my hands with an attention to the tiniest detail, so that each thing is its own miniature story.

As a lifelong student of art and popular culture, I enjoy designing items that are reflective of current ideas and styles. I love to make people happy and to tweak their imaginations with appropriated imagery.

Above all, I am committed to a sustainable lifestyle, using recycled and vintage materials for my crafts and always on the lookout for new ideas and uses for the detritus of our civilization.
