HARTLAND ARTWALK

Our up-cycled bottle-cap masterpiece, “Imagine,” earned the $1,000 Grand Prize at the hARTland ART Walk in Hartland—an incredible recognition of both creativity and craftsmanship. Built from nearly 5,000 pop bottle caps (and more than 4,000 in its earliest stages), this project also marked a meaningful milestone: it was the first time artisans Anna, Austin, Jasmine, and Ian incorporated power tools into their artmaking process. The result is more than an award-winning piece—it’s a powerful reminder that when people are given the right tools, support, and opportunity, they can create work that inspires an entire community.
