Debriefing: The Warby Parker Holiday Spectacle Bazaar

Back in the workshop and it feels like we’ve come home from a seven year military campaign, not seven days of workshops, whiskey, and living out of our yurt in downtown Manhattan. It was our first real foray into many things - including running a brick and mortar retail experience, and holding our first ever field medicine workshop (equipped with real pig’s hooves) - but that’s the way we like it. Best Made in the flesh. And take note: we’ve got our sights keenly set on a full-time store for 2012. Let’s make it happen. Huzzzzzzah!

And be sure to check out Laura Silverman’s amazing post about her foraged cocktail workshop at Glutton for Life.

A big thanks to everyone who helped: Nick Zdon from our MN Outpost, Guide Laura Silverman, Dr. Rob Gorski, and of course our staff and interns at Best Made (Hunter, Ben, Jess, Adam, Virgilio, Martha). We would also like to thank Stranahan’s whiskey for providing the fuel to our workshops. And last but not least a huge thanks to the staff and founders at Warby Parker, and Partners & Spade: Anthony Sperduti, Andy Spade, Andrew Post, Jamie Arendt, Kaki Read, and Isabel Seely.
