The Makers

Named for its location, Hebron Glass is located in the historic West Bank city of Hebron, well-known for its traditional glass-blowing. Hebron Glass operates three main workshops in Hebron, in addition to artisans who work in their own homes. Some 60 artisans, women and men, work with Hebron Glass, earning excellent income and benefiting from safe working environments.

Established in 1890, Hebron Glass is a family business that has expanded over the years and is now exporting traditional glassware and ceramics products. The group aims to build lasting relationships with fair trade associations and provide artisans with orders throughout the year. All tabletop items created by Hebron Glass are lead-free and safe to use. 

Desert Sands Candleholder

 This candle holder is ready to gleam like a campfire in desert night. Recycled bottles are smashed into pieces and melted in high temperature ovens. In Phoenician glass blowing, artisans add substances to the molten glass, creating a range of colors within each piece. Working with this process takes an especially skilled hand, and is reserved for the true masters of the art. Each piece has its own unique blend of color and pattern.

The Makers

 Prokritee (meaning "nature" in Bengali) manages several handicraft enterprises and helps other groups sell their products in local and foreign markets. Prokritee and its enterprises provide jobs for poor rural women. By providing jobs for women, Prokritee improves women’s standard of living and helps them send their children to school.

The organization provides skills development training to artisans. Prokritee creates and promotes income–generating projects that benefit the artisans, adhere to good safety and environmental standards, and have the potential to become self–reliant. Prokritee was established in 2001 as an independent organization. 

Bright Day Laundry Basket

 Love surprises? Each of these hamper baskets is one of a kind because no two saris are alike. Authentic sari garments come in a wide variety of colors and patterns that are as vibrant as the culture they come from. When recycled sari cotton is wrapped around kaisa grass, it can be woven into a striking basket, with a color and pattern all its own. What will make yours distinctive and special?

Swag Brewery

Swag Brewery was founded in early 2012 by two Minnesota-born, beer-obsessed recent college graduates who decided they’d rather drink with “the man” than work for him. Their goal is to design and produce "Damn Fine Goods" that help beer, wine, and whiskey lovers squeeze their passions into every corner of their lives. Based in Sheridan Wyoming

Meet the Maker- Born in a Barn

Our business was quite literally born in a barn. When we started 10 years ago, we risked life and limb to salvage wood from dilapidated barns. It was dirty and dangerous work at times, but the wood was too beautiful to let rot. So, we'd scale the timber frame, crowbar in hand, and pry each board from its rusted nails and give it new life. Much has changed over the years for us, but from these roots emerged a company ethos and vision: to make home decor that gathers inspiration from the past, and get dirty making it ourselves.  As the company has evolved with home decor trends, we've stayed true to our founding ethos. We still use and incorporate reclaimed barn wood, but we've expanded to include modern manufacturing equipment--like our CNC router and laser machine--that allows us to create and invent familiar, yet new styles. Based in Franklin, KY
