Hello! I’m Erika, the driving force behind this small dream, which is a collaborative effort involving my family, friends, and the incredible community of pigment geeks, naturalists, makers, and handmade things supporters I’ve encountered since 2020.

I have a deep love for nature and used to work as a biologist. However, I am also passionate about making things. This brings me immense joy, and I identify more with the term ‘artisan’ than ‘artist’.

I’ve spent several years working in conservation. While being a wildlife ranger in a remote Scottish seabird colony was a dream come true, I am now looking to explore my creativity further while still contributing to wildlife protection in some capacity (I’m still figuring this part out).

I am actively seeking a slower pace of living, even while being based in the city. This project allows me the time to explore what my next steps will be. I am forever grateful to have you join me on this journey, no matter where it leads us.

I aim to focus on creating products that are sold locally. While I deeply value and appreciate all my supporters worldwide, my goal is to be a local artisan, however, on occasion, I will ship goods to my amazing friends from further afield.

I hope you understand and can equally support local creators near you. When the time comes and you receive something from me, I hope it will make it that much more special.
