About this Product
These naturally beautiful lights feature the shell of a purple urchin collected from an urchin barren site off the Southern Oregon coast and individually hand processed at our studio. The wrap-around design on the base invokes the feeling of swimming through a bull kelp forest. The color-changing led smart bulb light is remotely controlled with your smart phone to produce a myriad of color options to suit your mood or setting. We donate 5% from the sale of these lights to support the Oregon Kelp Alliance (ORKA). To learn more about ORKA and the efforts to preserve healthy kelp forests, visit oregonkelp.com.

Empower Artworks
Meet the Maker
Empower Artworks is a husband-and-wife collaborative effort. We have lived close to the earth in Southern Oregon for over 35 years. We are blessed to steward a mixture of farm and forest land, and we cultivate a large garden and orchard. We raise pasture pigs for meat and lard, and we routinely make the two-and-a-half-hour trek to the ocean to harvest scallops, crab, fish and to enjoy the salt, sand, and crashing waves. Every home we have lived in we built with our own two hands, and our sole heat source is wood, which we gather from our property. We raised our sweet children, that now have children of their own, with a deep love for themselves, others, and the earth.
How it’s Made
All designs are created using Corel Draw. All wooden pieces are cut or engraved with an 80W, CO2, Trotec laser. Glass or paper is hand cut and sanded. All products are designed and assembled with love at our home studio in Williams, OR.
