Eco-Conscious Crafting
Glytharix Guild is deeply committed to responsible and zero-waste practices. We believe that true artistry extends beyond the workshop, encompassing our environmental impact and community engagement. Our efforts aim to build a sustainable future for both craft and planet.

Lbs of Wood Reclaimed
Our offcuts and sawdust are meticulously collected and given a second life. Instead of landfill, our wood waste is compressed into heating briquettes, distributed to local community centers for their Project Warmth initiative, providing efficient, clean-burning fuel during winter months.

Local Trees Saved
Through our partnership with NYC Urban Wood, we utilize fallen or removed city trees for our woodworking projects, transforming urban resources into timeless pieces and significantly reducing the demand for newly harvested timber.
Additionally, our ceramics lab proudly utilizes a closed-loop water filtration system, meticulously recycling all water used in pottery production. This proactive measure prevents any clay runoff from entering the New York water supply, safeguarding our city's vital natural resources.
