Art, Nature, Renewal.
Highwater Sage Studio is where art, nature, and community meet. Rooted in the landscapes of Northern California, Southern Oregon, and the Nevada high desert, our work is shaped by rivers, sagebrush, mountains, and the people who call these places home. We create slowly and intentionally, honoring materials, place, and collaboration. Every piece we make carries a story — grounded in land, memory, and renewal.
Thoughtful. Regenerative. Place-Based. Community-Driven.
Our approach is simple: we create with intention, and we create together.
Honoring materials.
From reclaimed jewelry components to thrifted beads and found objects, we see materials not as disposable, but as storied. Our Retreaded Jewelry Collection—and all of our upcycle-forward work—reimagines overlooked items into pieces that are meaningful, beautiful, and lasting. Nothing goes to waste; everything holds the possibility of renewal.
Honoring the land.
Every design begins with place. Sagebrush plains, volcanic soils, river canyons, deep forests, and mountain horizons shape our colors, textures, and creative choices. We create not just in the Tri-Region—Northern Nevada, Northern California, and Southern Oregon—but from it.
Honoring collaboration.
Nothing at Highwater Sage Studio is made alone. Our work moves through a living network of artists, educators, photographers, scientists, woodworkers, storytellers, and makers. Together, we blend disciplines and perspectives into pieces that carry the heart of a collective.
Honoring community.
Our creativity is rooted in reciprocity. Through education, storytelling, partnerships, and shared resources, we reinvest in the people and places that inspire us. Highwater Sage Studio is more than a brand—it is a living community ecosystem.
Honoring quality and care.
Every piece is crafted slowly and thoughtfully. Whether you’re holding jewelry, art prints, or learning materials, we want you to feel the care, history, and story woven into the work.
The Highwater Sage Collective
Many Hands. One Vision.
Highwater Sage Studio is not powered by a single artist — it is a collective. A gathering of makers, educators, photographers, woodworkers, designers, advisors, and storytellers, each contributing their skills, knowledge, and perspective to a shared vision.
Artists who reclaim and reimagine old materials, giving them new life
Photographers who bring the natural world into every frame
Educators who help us design thoughtful, meaningful learning tools
Advisors who guide our operations and support the creative process
Family and friends who lift, encourage, and contribute in countless unseen ways
We believe creativity thrives in community. Highwater Sage Studio is living proof that when people come together — sharing skills, stories, knowledge, and heart — something truly beautiful can grow. Every product you see here exists because of a circle of humans working in harmony, each adding their own thread to the whole.
