Paintstones are lightfast pigments, tree sap, Manitoulin Maple syrup, and gum Arabic. As a child, Beam's Dad taught her how to spot hematite and find paintstones. He carefully stored them in his art bag, within a cloth wrapper, and prepared paint for bowls, drums, and rocks. Beam hopes to share their joy of the physicality of paint, and has created these special little jewels. They reflect their values of respecting the earth and being plastic free. Wrapped in handmade paper from St Armand Papeterie in Montreal, it's their answer to halfpans! Let your art kit soar!
