The little story

Tideglass Lab

Tideglass Lab is a pitched coastal laboratory with specimen bottles lined up by the door and tidal treasures scattered across the steps. Every bottle holds something found at low tide, and the steps are waiting to be sorted.

Tide is the tidepool scientist who runs the place. Tide has discovered that one particular shell is exactly the right size to hold a small question, and keeps it on the shelf for whoever comes in curious.

Come in with a question, or a good sea-glass find, and let Tide sort it out. It is a calm, bright place to show what you are studying, testing or wondering about, one tidy bottle at a time.
