Paper Hop Diorama
A Paper Hop Diorama under a 12 inch glass dome. Details include a tiny ‘hop bail’, hand painted cone & gathered, dried natural elements- private land foraged from our water source, the PNW Cascade Mountains. Each diorama similar in look, while also being one of a kind with slight variations in nature elements & small details. As a Carpenter from Yakima Valley’s Hop growing region, recreating hops in paper honors my ancestors, kinfolk…those who farm today.
My family’s journey began in 1868, when Charles Carpenter said goodbye to his hop growing farm in New York state, moved across the country and settled in the Yakima Valley, establishing the first hop farm in the Ahtanum area and planted his first hops. Skip ahead five generations and the establishment continues to be a family-owned operation focusing on farming and innovation, especially as they began producing certified organic hops.
