At The Tethered Line (TTL), we believe art should do more than look pretty on your wall—it should make you feel something, remember something, maybe even rethink something.

TTL is a creative studio where design, storytelling, and a dash of rebellion come together in the form of prints, writing prompts, cards, candles, and other small joys that mix meaning with a wink. Each piece carries a little heart, a little humor, and a whole lot of intention.

It begins with an idea that lingers and a truth too important to ignore; art designed as small reminders of the world we want to live in; one rooted in empathy, courage, and connection. It’s art with something to say.

Alone, art can make you pause. Words can make you think.

But together?

They gang up on you, but in the best possible way!  Suddenly your mug has something to say, your candle feels like a pep talk, and your “blank page” isn’t so blank anymore.

Our collections – ‘In Her Words’, ‘Wheels’, ‘We The People’, and ‘The Kindness Project’ (with more on the way) – celebrate resilience, empathy, and the wildly human desire to do good (and look good doing it).

‘We The People’ was imagined with “Get Out The Vote’ efforts in mind: art that travels across the country, inviting and encouraging everyday citizens to use their voices, and their votes – to help shape a fairer, freer future for all.   Every TTL purchase supports causes that strengthen democracy, uplift women, and protect our planet.

Whether it’s a print that makes you pause, a candle that makes you exhale, or a mug (insert item of your choice!) that makes you smile, everything here is made to spark connection + reflection. We stand proudly for kindness, democracy, and being good humans, with a side of really good coffee – because honestly, that’s the holy trinity of better days.

Based in California, The Tethered Line is proof that purpose and beauty aren’t opposites — they’re partners. We believe that small acts (and small shops) and being a good human can still tip the scale.  And honestly? That sometimes, a simple piece of art can be its own small act of hope.

Here’s to beautiful spaces and finding joy in the little things!
