Experiments in color, magic and joy.
Merle Works produces small batch hand-dyed goods and other ephemera. It is an exploration of color, magic, and joy: a series of experiments in working fast and loose, leaving permanent marks, and finding beauty in mess.
The project began with urgency in 2020. It nurtures human connection, a love of language and color, and a spirit that anything can happen. It makes for inspired, intentional giving and receiving.
Life is messy. A visit to the studio in the Studebaker Building.
Everything is made and packaged by hand, real human hands. All goods are dyed and finished in a studio in the historic Studebaker Building in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
There's no plastic packaging or packing materials. Except for the greeting card sleeves, which seem to be an unavoidable industry standard at this point.
Merle Works goods can be found in fine independent shops and museum stores across the country, from the Getty to Harvard Art Museums.
