Sugar Maple Palettes, paired with three beautiful colours, samples of st Armand handmade paper, and a #4 travel brush.
The palettes carefully gathered from the family’s sugar bush, these small pieces of wood come from the magical Inaatig in Ojibwe, Acer saccharum in Latin, Sugar Maple in English. The acreage the Beam family live on has been caretaken by their families since and before the treaties of the area were signed.
Part of caring for the trees is carefully removing some dry branches, the offcuts being used to make these palettes!
