Construction of the new studio began
in April 2000. Starting with 90 square feet of interior processing space, Bill Hady and
Tracy Lea worked together to design the perfect structure for the processing of Zen
Warrior® Berets.

People
Who Helped Make It Possible
Thanks to Ed Mallory's generous support and Bill Hady's
craftsmanship, we were able to complete the project for the 2000-2001 Season's production. |
Bill Hady, Master Builder |
Mike Christner, Printing & Engraving |
Windows and a door were donated by
our friends at Dan Clare Graphics, who screenprint our labels. Mike Christner engraved the
Zen Warrior® logo into the door glass. |
| This is the gentleman
who has, for twelve years, brought us our propane gas to process the Zen Warrior Beret. He
was very helpful in setting us up in the new studio. |

A Beautiful Place To Work: Using The New Studio
|
 |
Located just outside the office window, the new
studio is heated by solar energy and the heat from processing the wool Zen Warrior®
Berets.
Most of the processing is done with rain water, collected from the
roof and stored in the blue barrels you see in these pictures.
|
The studio is intended to simulate
the design of a Zen Temple, after the Indo-Chinese style, with colorful ornamentation and
a flower and vegetable garden in the back.
