February MAKER OF THE MONTH

Fred & Garlock

Fred & Garlock, founded in 2021 by independent paper artist Corey Rose, is a woman-owned small business based on the outskirts of Mukilteo, Washington. As a native-born Washingtonian, Corey’s love for the Pacific Northwest deeply influences her 3D layered paper art. Many of the shadow boxes she crafts celebrate the region's wildlife, landscapes, and the quiet intricacies of nature. From the towering mountains to the vibrant wildlife, Corey brings the spirit of the PNW into homes, capturing its wonder through the delicate art of paper. Corey’s journey with paper began in 2010 when she started scrapbooking and making invitations. It wasn’t until 2020 that she discovered the magic of layered paper art, a craft she instantly fell in love with. It was the process of working with paper that truly ignited her passion. With each design, she carefully curates layers of specialty papers, from linen textures and shimmers to foil and colorful patterns, to create depth and texture that transform simple paper into striking works of art. She uses multiple CNC machines to bring her art to life, allowing for precise and intricate designs. The machines handle about 85% of the work, with the remaining 15% of the process being completed by hand, using a precision craft knife to refine and perfect the details. Corey’s work has garnered recognition, being featured on the social media and websites of several 3D art designers, allowing her to stay current with trends while maintaining a timeless quality to her creations. The name "Fred & Garlock" is a tribute to Corey's childhood and the special bond she shared with her sister and her favorite uncle, who was also a dear father figure. He gave them the nicknames Fred and Garlock, and though both have passed, their memory lives on through the name of Corey's business. She chose this unique name because it holds personal significance and is something she knew no other business would have. She feels it’s a way to honor them every day through her work. Beyond her passion for art, Corey is committed to sustainability and community. She donates pounds of beautiful paper scraps to local schools, daycares, and youth groups, inspiring young minds with the materials she uses in her work. By embracing responsible stewardship, Corey ensures her creativity extends far beyond her studio, contributing to both the environment and the community. With each piece, Corey invites you to bring the beauty of the Pacific Northwest into your home while supporting a small, environmentally conscious business.
