Dale Hardiman + ACV Studio: Pin #8 VAN TUIL Studio

Materials: Brass, Core Sample
Dimensions: 95(l) x 55(w) mm

Friends are a collection of pins designed and made by ACV Studio from conversations and materials shared with Dale Hardiman from other creative friends from Tasmania and greater Australia.

The Friends pins are a reminder that although during COVID we have been physically separated, we are a supportive community of creative practitioners. The pins can be worn day-to-day, or during video calls as a symbol of sharing and community during isolation.


"This little piece of Tasmania was part of a core sample brought up from 1600 metres below. It's older than the hills."
