East Neuk Beach Crafts

East Neuk Beach Crafts began in the summer of 2016 in the beautiful fishing town of Anstruther in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. After discovering a love of beach-combing, I built up my little business for 6 years, making handmade beach collages and jewellery from the antique beach pottery, sea glass, driftwood and shells I found washed up along our beautiful coastline. More recently, with lockdown and a little extra time on my hands to experiment, I’ve diversified into other mediums, in particular watercolour, ink, coloured pencil and graphite. This has given me total freedom to capture all the other aspects of the local villages and wildlife that I am so inspired by but which have been hard to represent using just my beach finds! I hope my new range of illustrations embody the colourful, whimsical joy of the Scottish seaside, our beautiful beaches and cute, local wildlife!
