Artist Profile | Lemon Dried Designs

11/5/2019

0 Comments

 
Join us this Thursday with Lemon Dried Designs as we kick off The Mill After Dark. Shop, sip and enjoy the debut of Reagan Gibson’s collection of ceramic jewelry.

There’s something about the organic sculptural forms being translated into jewelry that we absolutely love. We can’t wait for you to see the collection and find a piece that speaks to you.

We know you are as antsy as we are to learn more about her inspiration - so here’s a sneak peek inside.
Picture
The Mill: We’ve seen a few pieces but we can’t wait to see what other styles you launch during your pop-up with us this Thursday. Can you spill the beans a little bit? What can we expect to see? And what inspired this collection?

Reagan: I am so excited for the opportunity to share these designs through a pop up! The Mill embodies a minimal, timeless style and I believe these pieces have that same simplistic and statement making design that we love. With the current Autumn / Winter seasons, this collection will reflect those warm, crisp earth tones that draw us in to this time of year while also maintaining a minimal touch. 

The Mill: Without giving away too many secrets, do you have any behind the scenes info you can tell us? Or show us? Seeing the work an artist puts into pieces gives you that emotional connection - so we want to know and see what makes your pieces come to life. Do you have a vision before you start each piece or do they kind of evolve as you go?
Picture

Reagan: As I am sure you can relate to also, it can change from day to day. Once I’m in the flow of things and working on shaping, a lot of new designs will come to me as I’m piecing them together and I can continue to build on from there. I’ve never been much for drawing, but there are times that while I’m at work or even at home cooking in the kitchen, I’ll think of certain patterns and shapes that I have to be sure to draw out before they slip my mind. It is sort of funny how once you’re so invested in a project, you’ll get new creative ideas to elaborate on even when you’re not necessarily in the middle of working on that project!

The Mill: Traveling and fellow creatives are a huge source of inspiration for us at The Mill. Where/what do you find you are most inspired and influenced by?

Reagan: Anyone that has met me knows I have a huge heart for nature and plants, so I tend to find a lot of inspiration from those ethereal textures and tones and is why I feel so lead to work with clay. Also, I am really inspired by artists like Bobby Clark, Renne Gouin, and Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. I find it intriguing when artists create pieces purely driven by a texture or pattern, or tones that speak to them to create a new contrast. Something as simple as my mom’s rosemary bush in her front yard, or seeing an abstract painting that resonates with me can all be inspirational when deciding new pieces for a collection.

The Mill: I know for me personally, there a few things that spark creativity and get those juices flowing. Do you have any workspace must-haves? Like a cup of coffee, or a certain kind of music playing in the background that help make the process more enjoyable?

Reagan: One of the greatest things that I love about working with clay is that it is such a change from a usual day working on my computer! I can put on a Phoebe Bridgers or Brother Bird playlist, cozy up with a latte and really get immersed in working. Of course, I always have to make sure my favorite candle from The Mill is lit in my work space too, the Prosecco candle from Antica Farmacista.  

The Mill: If you had to, could you pick a piece you’ve created that is your favorite? What draws you to this piece? ​

Reagan: Large, detailed earrings haven’t always been a common find in my jewelry box, but these clay jewels are so lightweight, it is easier to gravitate towards the more intricate and eclectic shaped pairs. Anything I can make in a lush, rich green will always be my favorite. Maybe because it reminds me the most of foliage and what inspired me to launch Lemon Dried in the first place... A combination of these tones with a unique, funky shape quickly grab my heart. 

In love and can’t wait to get your hands on a pair? Join us Thursday from 5-7pm.

step into sustainable | Upcycled denim

6/26/2019

0 Comments

 
Now more than ever, it is so important to be taking mindful steps towards sustainable living. Upcycling is essential to minimize environmental impact and it decreases the amount of waste that goes into landfills. With an all new collection from The Beach People, these 100% upcycled denim pieces will add a light and airy feel to your home while also taking a crucial step towards sustainability. ​
Picture
Each Denim Upcycled piece from The Beach People is handmade by a father and daughter company out of Central America. These high quality textiles are made from 100% sustainable eco-cotton yarn after the factory collects pre-consumer industrial waste from textile mills. These scraps are ground back into fibre and spins them to fabricate new yarns, as well as woven and knit fabrics.

ABOUT THE FACTORY

Picture
With a manufacturing process that is chemical-free, dye free and uses minimal water and energy, they refrain from using synthetic fibres, meaning all of their products are 100% natural and biodegradable 

Their production is based on eliminating the concept of waste, even their own waste from their upcycling process is later donated to coffee-growers to use as compost to grow specialty coffee in the highlands of Guatemala.
Not only is the final product high quality and amazing to look at, it’s luxuriously soft to touch and oozes texture and detail. We can’t wait for you to try it for yourself… ​

CUSHIONS

Made from 100% upcycled denim material with an insert made from recycled plastic bottle tops, these cushions are as sustainable as it is chic. Luxurious and oh-so soft,  you’ll want it on your lounge or bed all year round.
