Sugar Maple Palettes, paired with three beautiful colours, samples of st Armand handmade paper and a #4 travel brush.
From Beam: "The palettes carefully gathered from our family’s sugar bush, these small pieces of wood come from the magical Inaatig in our Ojibwe language or Acer saccharum in Latin, finally Sugar Maple in English. Every spring we tap hundreds of these trees when the nights are freezing but the day is above zero and the sun is shining. It’s a time of getting together, hard work, and family. It doesn’t hurt the tree and this same acreage we live on has been care taken by our families since and before the treaties of our area were signed. It takes 40 litres of sap to make one litre of maple syrup! Part of caring for the trees is carefully removing some dry branches, these palettes are made from those offcuts. I have always loved the feeling of them, like a living stone."
