Who We Are
Hello. We are Loren and Kristina, and we are the founders and creators behind 368 Designs. Our normal day job is teaching. Kristina teaches at the elementary level and Loren at the college level. During COVID, we had to try and teach from home which was a very stressful situation. We needed to find something we could do at home to help relieve the stress. So, we ordered some epoxy and a cup turner and did our first cup. Little did we know that one cup would turn into many more projects.
The next step we took was into dye sublimation. That opened up a lot more avenues. Not only could we do cups, but we also could do t-shirts, towels, hats, and anything else that would take sublimation ink. We found that the sublimation allowed us to be much more creative with our designs.
Last July, we entered the world of laser engraving. We purchased an xTool S1 40w laser and haven't looked back. We have lasered everything from, cutting boards, drink glasses, painted canvases, mirrors, and many other materials.
After starting all these hobbies, we have collected a lot of projects that we didn't know what to do with. That began the 368 Designs journey. We started out at a craft show with a single table and some cups to sell. We still do craft shows, but our booth is quite a bit bigger with a wide variety of items. It has been a fun journey that we can take together. Thank you for taking the time to look at our page and our items.
