About Echo Art Studio

We believe the land offers everything we need — beauty, inspiration, and connection. Our shop is rooted in the Central Oregon high desert, where we thoughtfully forage and gather what nature provides. From sculptural tumbleweeds and hand-collected ostrich shell pieces to fragrant sage cuttings, mullein, lavender, and juniper berries, every item is chosen with care and respect for the land. Echo Art Studio supports education, conservation and cultural preservation.

Whether you’re creating art, crafting, styling your home, or honoring your rituals, our offerings bring the wild, untamed spirit of the desert into your everyday life. Sustainably gathered, naturally unique, and always authentic — this is the best of the high desert, shared with you.

Our Range

Tumbleweeds

Bring the untamed beauty of the high desert into your space with our sustainably gathered tumbleweeds. Each one is a unique work of nature, sun-dried and wind-shaped by the Central Oregon landscape. Perfect for rustic décor, stage design, photography, crafts, or simply as a conversation piece that captures the spirit of the West

Wild harvested Mullein

Mullein has been cherished for centuries for its soft leaves, calming presence, and versatile medicinal uses. Sustainably gathered from the Central Oregon high desert, our mullein is carefully dried to preserve its natural qualities.

Clasping Pepperweed (Dried)

Hand-foraged from the Central Oregon high desert, Clasping Pepperweed offers a delicate, wild beauty with its branching stems and seed clusters. Often overlooked, this hardy desert native brings a touch of natural texture and structure to arrangements, crafts, and displays. Traditionally, Pepperweed has been valued in folk herbal practices for its peppery taste and potential digestive-supporting qualities. Dried naturally to preserve its form, it’s both a striking botanical and a nod to the resourceful remedies of the desert.

Sage Cuttings

Hand-gathered in the Central Oregon high desert, our sage cuttings are dried naturally in the Oregon sun to preserve their cleansing fragrance. Traditionally used for smudging, rituals, and meditation, sage is also beautiful in displays or natural home décor. Each bundle is tightly wrapped, easy to burn, and filled with the grounding energy of the desert.

Juniper Berries

Hand harvested from the high desert juniper trees of Central Oregon, our berries are hand-harvested and naturally dried. Known for their rich, woodsy aroma and deep blue color, they’re perfect for potpourri, herbal blends, ritual offerings, or natural crafting projects. Sustainably gathered and beautifully preserved, these berries carry the essence of the desert wilderness.

Western Goldenrod (Dried)

Known for its bright, golden blossoms, Western Goldenrod is a vibrant wildflower native to the high desert. Our hand-collected, naturally dried stems retain their rustic charm and sunny color, making them ideal for seasonal décor, wreaths, and wildflower arrangements. Medicinally, Goldenrod has a long history of use as a soothing herb — often brewed into teas to support kidney and urinary health, ease seasonal discomfort, and promote overall vitality. Both beautiful and beneficial, it’s a true symbol of late-summer abundance.

Obsidian Glass

Formed by the raw forces of nature, our Obsidian glass pieces are sourced directly from Glass Butte, Oregon, a renowned site for this stunning volcanic glass. Known for its smooth, reflective surface and deep black color with flecks of red sometimes as well, Obsidian is revered for both its beauty and its metaphysical properties. These shards are perfect for jewelry-making, crafting, meditation, or adding a unique touch to your home décor. Every piece captures the volcanic energy of the land, making each fragment one-of-a-kind.

Curated Finds – Foraged Beyond Oregon

While most of our collection is gathered from the heart of Central Oregon’s high desert, we also feature special curated items from trusted friends around the country. These unique finds are carefully foraged and shared with the same respect for nature that guides Echo Art Studio.

From the windswept shores of Washington State, where sea shells are collected and transformed into jewelry and art pieces, to the sun-kissed landscapes of Texas, where mistletoe is gathered during the winter season, these offerings bring the spirit of diverse wild places into your hands.

Each curated item is chosen for its authenticity, natural beauty, and connection to the land — giving you the chance to experience treasures beyond Oregon, while still honoring the same values of sustainability and respect for nature.
