Chicago
Shoreline Artifacts
A handcrafted glass artifact containing authentic sand gathered from Chicago’s beaches.
Something small, carried home.
For centuries, people have carried home stones, soil, shells, and other small reminders of meaningful places. Glass artist Linda Harman continues that tradition by preserving authentic materials within handcrafted borosilicate glass keepsakes, creating lasting connections to places that inspire, shape, and define us.
The Chicago Shoreline Swizzle Stick
Handcrafted borosilicate glass swizzle sticks made with authentic sand collected from Chicago beaches.
Each piece is individually made by hand and permanently preserves a small piece of the city’s shoreline.
- Borosilicate glass, made at the torch
- Contains real sand from Chicago’s beaches
- UV reactive, it glows under a black light
- UV keychain light included
- No two are exactly alike
Then the glass lights up.
In daylight it reads as a simple, beautifully made glass stir stick. Put it under UV and the glass comes alive in the drink.
A UV keychain light comes with every piece, so the effect travels with it to the bar, the patio, or the kitchen counter.
Made to sit on a bar.
