PRODUCTS
The Glass
All glass creations are made at our little studio where no scrap is left behind! We use every bit by using scrap in our workshops, transforming it into new creations and by donating it to other art programs/classes. And from time to time, we will use recycled bottles and windshields to make some cool pieces!
The Apparel
Our clothing line is designed in house and is screen printed locally in Sarnia. We work with Canadian companies to bring in the best quality and comfiest gear for hanging at the lake. We have an elevated Made in Canada Collection that fully sustainable and 100% produced on Canadian soil.
All apparel gives back through our donation programs.
The Artisans
We cherish our artisans! We support over 30 local makers by purchasing their work up front, promoting them and truly believing in what they are putting into the world. Many of them make products with recycled, reclaimed and found materials such as beach glass, wood and textiles. We will often host pop-ups, free of charge, to give new makers the opportunity to meet our customers and make new relationships within the community.
**All of our products are shipped using compostable/recyclable packaging**
EVENTS
Along with other local businesses, we organize local beach clean ups for our community. Bringing all ages together, providing education and tips on how to keep our lake and shoreline clean.
