Lily & Sea
Lily & Sea is the work of Nikki Fewings - a shell artist who takes inspiration from the natural world, creating unique pieces using shells, sea glass and pottery beachcombed by hand on our stunning Cornish beaches. Nikki curates these beachcombing finds onto premium quality 255gsm hammered card, or professional mountboard.

Rebecca Rickards Design
Rebecca’s small business started when she was commuting on the Northern Line and was dreaming of being in Cornwall. From a really young age she loved making greeting cards to send to friends and family and to see the joy on people's faces when they opened it gave her so much happiness!

I adore Rebecca’s design illustrations inspired by everyday Cornish life, so playful and stylish.

Zennor Wild
Pippa creates beautiful wild & seasonal floral designs. She grows flowers in Zennor too. Zennor Wild have a great network of growers in Cornwall who produce beautiful flowers but also keep the flower miles down too. Pippa also creates floral designs for wedding.

Pippa’s arrangements are just so stunningly beautiful and arranged tastefully. It literally puts a smile on my face. If you are planning the floral design for a wedding, take a look at Pippa’s celebration flowers.

// Sea Glass Jewellery
Sadie Jewellery
Sadie makes jewellery using recycled sea glass and sterling silver. These beautiful ocean gems can take 7 years and more to form underwater and approach the shore. With her studio overlooking the sea, she has plenty of beaches on tap to find sea glass. Cornwall and Devon, have many untouched secret beaches which are incredible for beachcombing.

I love sea glass. Each piece is completely unique, with its own story to tell. It has been naturally tumbled by the oceans tides, currents, waves and sand.

Gemma Lessinger
Gemma Lessinger has been escaping to Cornwall on holidays since she was a child. It was here that the magic of the ocean crept into her heart and the urge to live by the sea grew stronger as the years went by. Gemma’s paintings are characterised by their never ending myriad of colours, Gemma captures textured movements of the Cornish sea and shorelines.

Gemma really brings the magic of the ocean into our homes.
