Protect Our Home for the Holidays! Gifts that Give Back

Protect Our Home for the Holidays! Gifts that Give Back

I love the winter season and all that comes with it. Even the piercing cold weather. BUT…this time of year can be challenging for the planet.

We Donated 3 Coral Reef Sculptures to the Maritime Aquarium!

Since the founding of cinder + salt in 2014, I've been interested in turning our printshop waste into sculptures of coral reefs. I can’t tell you why it’s been a fixation of mine, but it has, and the concept has finally come full circle with our donation of three mobile, 100% upcycled coral reef sculptures to The Maritime Aquarium in June 2023, in celebration of World Oceans Day.   It all began with the Lorax. As a young child flipping through the book I was enamored by the Truffula Trees. I wanted to live amongst the swommee swans and brown...
