Practical Pursuits: A Summer Baking and Sewing at Bowdoin
By Symone Marie Holloway ’22
This summer Bowdoin students have interned at hospitals, law offices, and news rooms. But two students are taking a less traditional approach (or rather, a more traditional approach) to their summer internships.
Reminiscent of the childhood rhyme from days of old, Bowdoin has a baker (but alas, no butcher or candlestick-maker) and a seamster.
Finnegan Woodruff ’21 discovered his talent as a clothier after rummaging in his basement while recovering from an injury. Siena Wiedmann ’20 has always been interested in baking and wanted to spend a summer away from research. All summer, they have been sewing hats and making pizza dough—and we caught it on camera.
