MAKERS OF MUIR
from The Beacon - Vol. 1
by muirhotel
In addition to over 30 Nova Scotian artists whose work appears throughout Muir and Queen’s Marque, we are proud to work with artisans like:
TWO BIRDS ONE STONE twobirdsonestonefarm.com
Sarah and Kenny Macalpine left their day jobs four years ago to become flower farmers in Halls Harbour, Nova Scotia. Growing flowers meant they could spend their days in nature while feeding their passion for creating a sustainable life. They grow well over 100 different varieties of flowers, foliage, grasses and grains for floristry, and their dried and fresh flowers are featured at Muir.
THE SOAP COMPANY OF NOVA SCOTIA soapnovascotia.com
After a lifetime of chronic issues caused by synthetic ingredients, Leigh McFarlane was inspired to create simple, gluten-free, nutfree products that are both unscented and scented with essential oils. Leigh has created our custom bath salts with a fragrance that blends spruce and honey. Her business is headquartered in Nova Scotia’s Eastern Shore.
UNDINE FOULDS undineclara.com
Undine Foulds is an Indigenous interdisciplinary artist of Métis and Irish descent based in Halifax. She has developed functional ceramic tableware decorated entirely with found materials. Broken glass, ground-up rocks and minerals, collected sand, metallic shavings and more are processed, tested and refined to create unique palettes of colour and texture. Her work is featured at Drift.
