Meet Me at... Artisan Markets

We did our first artisan market last Saturday - at the popular Things TT market in UWI St Augustine. My mom is my ever supportive assistant and I think we made a good team. It was an enjoyable experience for us and a learning one too.

We made new friends, connected with old friends, networked and built partnerships, talked about our jewellery, engaged people on sustainability and environmental management AND made our first sales.

The interest in Gaia Couture, what we do  was very positive. I am very inspired by this to continue to create unique jewellery that incorporates elements of sustainability through the materials we use, the inspiration, the designs or the environmental awareness raising activities.

Lots of new ideas, projects and developments are in the pipeline and you'll find out more about them in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned!

Our jewellery is inspired by nature – the colours, textures, shapes and motifs are all inspired by the beautiful natural environment. I am blessed to live in the Caribbean where there is so much natural beauty around me as my inspiration,” Sasha told WMN. Launched earlier this year with its Reef Collection, Gaia has been making the rounds at local craft markets, where the reception has ranged from curiosity to fascination. Reef was i...

1.5 to Stay Alive

IPCC climate report paints nightmarish future The recent report on keeping global warming under 1.5 °C by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a nightmarish future for the world – one that is much worse that any of those in previous IPCC reports. It reads like a final wake-up call from scientists on the serious implications of rising global temperatures. The take home message? We’re well on our way towards a 3°C rise at our current rates of global greenhouse gas emissions. The report however sets a crystal-clear target: reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 to have a fighting chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. This report is a must-read for all government policymakers who must recognise the crucial decisions we now have to make for the future… and fast. Governments around the world must ramp up the transition to low carbon development and sustainable growth or suffer the devastating consequences of rising sea levels, tropical...
