About Us

Welcome to Sustain The Art! We provide art students, designers, and art enthusiasts with a smarter and more sustainable way to use available materials, inspiring you to create pieces that make you proud.

We take our product research seriously.

Our journey began in 2021 when we started exploring how to lead a more sustainable life by using whatever resources we have around us. Then, in 2022, our research took us to the very physicality of materials, and sometimes we felt a bit like a chef artist-chemist.

Whilst in 2023 we worked towards growth and learning more about materials and their particularities, this 2024 we will start expanding to other type of materials and more towards mixed media. Stay tuned.

As always, thank you so much for reading Sustain The Art. This would not be possible without your support.
