MORE THAN A STUDIO
Le STUDIO
exists on a foundation of values
At sipping sun, we believe that art has the potential to enhance the beauty of our world.
When we create, we infused our whole selves into every project.
Making art isn’t just what we do, it’s a direct expression of who we are in connection with each other, and in co-creation with the Universe.
We channel our gifts into decorative and wearable art pieces for the home and body.
L𝑒 STUDI𝑂 sipping sun creates opportunities for women artists to thrive on their craft.
From collaborating on design projects to featuring artists in painting, ceramics, glassblowing, and embroidery, L𝑒 STUDI𝑂 sipping sun exists to spotlight the women behind our meaningful objects.

SEE WHAT WE MEAN BY:
Planet ·Friendly
- sipping sun is proud to be part of noissue's Eco-Alliance by choosing to utilize sustainable packaging for the products we deliver. For every order we make to noissue, a tree is planted in an area where it's most needed! We use thoughtful materials that can be reused or recycled with ease, prioritizing the longest possible lifespan of every single resource.
- As artists, we make use of every scrap of paper or fabric, every "lost cause", and turn seemingly trivial odds and ends into beautiful, up-cycled treasures. By evaluating our existing inventories, producing art in home studios, and organizing a virtual company, we are able to reduce waste and minimize our carbon footprint.
- We are constantly looking for ways in which we can repair something before replacing it. From the conscious choices we make as a business to the ways we show up intentionally outside the studio, we are committed to maintaining and exercising sustainable practices that help make a positive impact on our planet, and in the lives of the people we serve.
MEET THE ARTISTS
Hands·Collaborative
Meryn Sibel
is a self-taught multi-medium artist living in California's Bay Area.
Her work is influenced by the colorful culture and abundance of nature that coexist in her city. "To travel outside one's front door and witness the creation of art throughout the whole neighborhood is like a hug to the body and a balm to the soul." As a creator herself, Meryn thrives on the energy of other makers who express themselves in ways that are deeply connected to their lived experiences.
"The act of showing up is the point of contact where the artist meets her mastery."
Meryn Sibel's body of work includes hand lettering, acrylic painting, storytelling, ceramics, photography, and polymer clay jewelry making.
Nezire Güles
is a celebrated, award-winning tile artist living in Kütahya, Turkey.
Since 1990, Nezire has been performing as a tile artist, having mentored under Mehmet Koçer (a master tile artist and professor) at university, and has evolved the focus of her practice into jewelry making since 2019.
“When I make tiles, it is almost as if I lose contact with the world, my feet are off the ground and I am moving to another dimension. Nothing passes through me at that moment except just me and my work.”
Kütahya, Turkey is renown for its centuries’ old porcelain tile painting. “I am very happy to be in an effort to maintain the Art of Tile in [my] city.”
Inspired by the extraordinary beauty of nature, Nezire’s floral motifs come alive in her hand-painted çini and teship ceramic necklace pendants.
