Indigenous Artisan Marketplace

Glowing Igloo

Glowing Igloo is Inuit based and most items are made with the intentions of bringing back pride and education of our natural items such as sealskin, fox fur, leather, moosehide, antler. Items are all carefully and thoughtfully handmade by only me in my free time.  I love to use natural materials mixed with modern elements to create fashionable yet sustainable items that are slow fashion which continues to respect our ways of thought about harvesting animals and the respect everything tied to survival.

‘Kwe’ my name is Raven Stephens, I’m a Mi’kmaq woman from Millbrook First Nation. I have a Bachelor of Science and a Masters Degree, however I am a lover of the arts. I am a beadwork artist, a makeup artist, and a published author. I published my first book ‘Painting Our Legacy’ in 2022, where I highlight and share the beauty of Indigenous culture through the artist medium of makeup. I grew up on the Rez and now I live in the city, I found beading helped me stay connected to my culture being away from community and that is really when I fell in love with it’
