Welcome to the inaugural post of our Lighten Up with Sawyer series! (Cue the band and confetti!) Moving into 2024, we’re launching a series to regularly highlight some of our favorite creations across creative mediums. But as we all know, art of all kinds is a cozy companion for winter nights, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to let loose a little early with these Winter Solstice Ruminations.
We could easily fill pages with incredible content from the Sawyer Squad, but in the spirit of being more than an outdoor company we’re also including our team’s own unique tastes. From Lizzy McAlpine’s harmonies to the funky new beats of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, here’s what the team at Sawyer is settling in with this winter.
