A little about Karen
Karen and her husband moved to North Devon 19 years ago and for 2 years she worked in a small local gift shop. It was here she learnt how to make and paint ceramics. Loving what she had learnt, Karen continued with ceramics and opened a local gift shop of her own.This was very successful, but unfortunately, due to family commitments, she had to relinquish the shop, but continued to make and paint ceramics at her home. She gradually began supplying local shops and galleries with her ceramics and still sells through these outlets.
How did Karen start with driftwood?
It all started with a picture of a driftwood horse!
“I can do that” she said and the driftwood side of her business was born!!
For 2 years now Karen has increased her range to include beach huts/boats/hearts and mirrors. More recently she has introduced driftwood signs and yachts. Combining these with the ceramics, they make unique and unusual gifts. Each ceramic item from jugs/mugs/teapots to the small letters and surfboards are painted by hand. Karen has had no formal training in Art, but she has a natural talent for colour and design, which is obvious from her colourful and fun items.
Some years on, they are still a 2 person team and run their business from their coastal North Devon home…if they could knock down the houses in front they would have the perfect sea view!!
SO…buy something from Karens range (either for yourself or as a gift) and you are taking away a small slice of North Devon.
** It may be possible to buy some of these items direct from ForeshoreArt if you are in North Devon. Please contact us several days before you visit the area. I’m afraid anything bought direct must be paid for in cash if you wish to take it away. We are small family businesses and we cannot afford to have returned cheques etc.
Sorry -no facility for credit card purchases
