Glaciers once filled the void between these mountains. From a distance they seemed so firm…steadfast. The hidden truth was always a state a flow. In the winter their growth gouged the stone, driving the ice down the slopes and across the valleys, tearing the earth and moving boulders miles. In the summer they ran to melt, the milky silt filled water still cold enough to freeze to bone if you weren’t careful.

Glacier mitts celebrate both the power and the flow of the world’s glaciers. Each mitt is encrusted with over 300 beads, sparkling across your hands like chips of ice or drops of dew. Gently packaged in reusable wrap and gifted wisely, the soft striking of the beads call out for care in a way that also makes you think.
