Urban Ashes and Work Skills Corporation are partnering to produce picture frames. The workers, who help make the frames, are part of Work Skills Corporation, which employs Michigan’s transitional or disabled workforce.
Paul Hickman, owner of Urban Ashes, goes out of his way to make sure every part of the frames are Michigan made. Hickman’s main goal with the product is ”to be completely inclusive with the entire product and go through every single aspect of it and make it as local, green and smartly designed as possible.”
As the article states, frames can only be purchased in Michigan right now, but they’ll soon be sold in other states. For a complete list of retailers, visit www.urbanashes.com. Hickman hopes to have the frames in 100 shops and boutiques by the end of the year. If he succeeds in branching out, more green jobs for Work Skills Corporation’s workforce will follow.
