PEACE CHAIN JOE

"I make ceramic and wood pendants with words for peace in 123 languages. It’s A Peace Chain for a peace chain reaction! Since 1991, I have personally handmade and distributed more than 628,326 pieces. I will make them for the rest of my life. My pieces have been spotted around the world on every continent, including Antarctica!

All work is original and one of a kind. I personally make all pieces myself out of my home studio. I do all phases of the ceramic production including the fabrication, glazing, and firing of the work. I use stamps and tools of my own creation.

I use a laser cutter for the wood pieces. I do all the design, programming, and production. They are cut from hand-stained birch plywood.

Pendants come with a bamboo or hemp necklace cord and a flyer printed on post-consumer recycled paper printed with vegetable-based inks."
