We hope to see you at one of these creative events full of enthusiasm, exuberance, and wonder!
Welcome to Found & Altered, where art, jewelry, and home décor emerge from a realm beyond the veil. We believe that creativity itself is a mysterious force, delivered to us from an invisible place, inspiring us with seeds of imagination that blossom into our unique creations.
Our passion lies in bringing life to discarded treasures, infusing them with new purpose and meaning.
Here, the magic of creation unfolds, enchanting us as much as it does our beloved customers.
- Inspiration from Beyond: At “Found & Altered,” we believe in the ethereal dance of creativity. Ideas whisper to us from hidden realms, gently delivering seeds of inspiration that sprout into magnificent creations. Each piece we make is touched by the intangible, carrying a story that transcends the visible world.
- Conservation at Heart: We are firm believers in the power of conservation. By embracing the principles of re-use, re-cycle, and re-purpose, we honor the necessity of resourcefulness. Every material we lovingly select and repurpose not only reduces waste but also breathes new life into forgotten objects, turning them into art that evokes wonder and appreciation.
- The Alchemy of Creation: Prepare to witness the pure magic that unfolds within our creative process. As we embark on each artistic journey, there is an absence of form, a blank canvas waiting to be transformed. Through our hands and imaginations, something extraordinary emerges, a tangible embodiment of the intangible. From nothingness, beauty arises, and you become the custodian of a piece that never existed before.
At “Found & Altered,” we invite you to embark on this whimsical adventure with us. Together, let us celebrate the hidden potential in the discarded, find inspiration beyond the veil, and embrace the transformative power of art. Step into our warm-hearted and friendly world, where creativity thrives, conservation flourishes, and pure magic is forever afoot.
