| Introduction | I’ve been playing with paper, color, textiles, and fiber since forever. "Minka's Studio" (my first blog) is a homage to my parents' photography business, a great aunt, a hometown baker, and ancient Japanese farmhouses. My parents' photography business was Jay Phillips Studio. I was named for my father's Aunt Minyah; her sister, my grandmother, sometimes called her Minka. A baker named Minka made my childhood birthday cakes in her bakery near the steel mill. As an adult, I learned about another minka; click on the "minkas" tag to see beautiful Japanese farmhouses. My cooking blog, Minka Cooks, has some of my favorite recipes. |
