DESTINY KINAL & JUDITH THOMAS

Destiny and Judith, publishers and principals, were introduced to the author through his work as a science teacher at Malcolm X Elementary School. He designed and led an annual trip to Codornices Creek, teaching fourth grade children how to analyze a creek and assess its health.

Judith and Destiny wanted to publish John’s creek unit, and–while visiting him–found out he had written this story.

Both are writers and book artists, Destiny setting type and printing on a press and Judith bookbinding.

Destiny is working on The Textile Trilogy, novels about the roots of modernity in the 19th century. Burning Silk was published in 2010.

Judith is a weaver and basketmaker who belongs to California Indian Basketmakers (CIBA.) Judith is also the founder of Ariadne’s Thread, a textile explorations venture, which leads Weaving a Life sessions as well as other pursuits in craft.
