The practices of gathering and learning from the land have been passed down by Indigenous communities for thousands of years. As we forage and create together, we do so with a commitment to caring for the places that sustain us and respecting Indigenous land.

Sun & Silt
From Earth, By Hand
Ingredients derived from nature for the benefit of the environment and non-toxic for humans.
What comes from the Earth goes back to the Earth.
Pure Ingredients
Everything is made with pure, natural ingredients. No chemicals included.
Small Batch
Prioritizing slow-making and ethical foraging. Never taking more than needed, and only creating what is necessary.
Cruelty Free
Sun & Silt’s non-toxic, child friendly paints and products are entirely cruelty free and ethically foraged.
Unlike conventional art products that rely on industrial pigments, synthetic binders, plastics and global shipping — Sun & Silt uses natural sediment pigments, homemade binders made of natural ingredients, recycled paper, earth clay, beeswax finishing and sustainable packaging paired with zero shipping — offering local sales only.
