OUR VISION
At Mosstower Studios, our vision is to build a creative studio that empowers people to connect with their inner creativity & find joy in expressing their unique perspectives and styles.
OUR VALUES
-
Our goal is to source as many materials as possible from fair trade and eco-conscious suppliers. While we have lots of room for improvement, we currently:
handcraft recycled beads and pendants from plastic collected from our local community (which would likely have ended up in a landfill)
incorporate thrifted, upcycled, and reimagined materials into most of our earring designs
use recyclable and repurposed packaging when sending out orders; we source eco-friendly packaging from EcoEnclose and Packing Penguins
purchase Green Cast recycled acrylic from MakerStock
buy most of our studio and craft-fair decor second-hand
order our custom stickers from Sticky Brand, who prints with Greenguard gold certified, eco-solvent ink, and uses recyclable backing paper
-
We donate 5% of our profits to community organizations who are working to build a better world. Recent donations have supported:
Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition, which works to ensure the wellbeing, safety, and lived equity of all trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive people in Massachusetts.
Many Lands Mutual Aid, a grassroots aid distribution project that puts donations directly in the hands of displaced Palestinian families in Gaza.
1for3, which supports locally-driven solutions by and for Palestinian refugees around water, food, health, and education.
Palestine Children's Relief Fund, which provides medical relief to children in the Middle East.
-
Our goal is to hire at least 50% of our vendors and contractors from BIPOC, immigrant, or LGBTQ+ owned companies. We believe all contractors should be paid a fair, equitable, living wage.
-
We want our earrings to make you feel seen and celebrated, and to empower you to showcase your one-of-a-kind interests, personality, and style.
We strive to include, support, and celebrate customers of all genders, races, body shapes, sizes, skin tones, disabilities, and more - you are all beautiful!
-
At Mosstower, we love collaborating with other artists and entrepreneurs in order to re-invest in our community. Whether that means
leading free workshops for local students,
mentoring young entrepreneurs,
helping with mutual aid fundraising events,
or simply collaborating on a joint creative project,
we believe that local grassroots partnerships can test out bold new ideas and push our culture forward in terms of equity and justice.
