Between Sea & Shore
Between Sea & Shore is inspired by the gentle act of beachcombing — those slow walks where the tide has receded and small details come into focus. Mussel shells dulled by water, oyster shells with pearled interiors, seaweed tangled and drying on stone, and fragments of colour left behind by the sea all inform this collection.
The designs are calm and textural, drawn from the meeting point of land and water. Natural forms repeat with a soft rhythm, their colours muted by salt, light and movement. Nothing here feels hurried; each piece reflects the way the shoreline constantly reshapes what it touches.
Rooted in Cornwall’s coast but universal in spirit, Between Sea & Shore brings a sense of quiet, elemental balance into the home — cool, coastal and gently grounding.
Tide-Worn Mussels
Mussel shells are among the most familiar finds along Cornish beaches — scattered generously after rougher tides, especially along quieter stretches where they seem to appear again and again.
This design leans into that repetition. Strong, recognisable forms gather and overlap, shaped by friction and movement rather than arrangement. Deep blues and sea-worn neutrals reflect shells that have travelled, knocked and returned.
The rhythm here feels steady and grounded, echoing those regular walks along the water’s edge — the kind where certain finds become expected, even comforting, part of the shoreline’s changing pattern.
Amongst The Kelp Forest
Layered fronds rise and overlap, creating a sense of movement beneath the surface. Seaweed drifts, twists and gathers, shaped by water rather than anchored to a single direction.
Amongst the Kelp Forest draws on the submerged landscapes found just offshore, where kelp moves constantly but never hurriedly. The forms repeat with variation, echoing the way seaweed shifts with tide and swell, tangling and releasing, expanding and compressing with each change in water level.
Deep blues and greens dominate the palette, broken by lighter touches that suggest light filtering from above. This print brings a feeling of immersion — of looking down into water where life continues quietly, layered and resilient, long after the shoreline has disappeared from view.
Cockles In Bloom
Rounded shells open and overlap, arranged with a rhythm that feels almost floral. Their curves create a soft sense of expansion, like something in the process of unfurling.
Cockles in Bloom takes a familiar coastal find and reimagines it through repetition and balance. The cockle shells echo one another across the surface, their shapes forming a quiet pattern that blurs the line between natural form and botanical structure. It reflects the way beach finds can feel unexpectedly decorative, even when shaped entirely by chance.
Muted coastal tones and gentle contrasts keep the design grounded and calm. This print holds a sense of simple pleasure — the kind found in recognising beauty in small, ordinary things, lifted slightly by light, arrangement and time.
Where Seaweed Gathers
Seaweed collects where the tide slows — pooling, tangling and layering itself along the shore. This print reflects those dense, gathered places rather than open sand.
Forms overlap and weave together, creating a sense of quiet enclosure. The palette deepens into greens and blues, evoking damp textures and shadowed edges where water has recently passed.
There’s a feeling of pause here — of arriving just after the sea has withdrawn, when everything is still heavy with salt and movement lingers beneath the surface.
Pastel Scallops
Scallop shells gathered and layered, their curved forms overlapping like quiet echoes of one another. The arrangement feels generous rather than ordered — a sense of abundance shaped by tide rather than hand.
Soft, shifting colour runs through the design, reflecting the way light catches shell interiors differently each time they’re lifted or turned. Nothing is rigid here; forms tilt and repeat, creating a gentle rhythm that feels calm and unforced.
This print captures that familiar moment of looking down while walking the shoreline — noticing how much beauty can collect without effort, simply through time, movement and return.
Season Of Oysters
Oyster shells sit heavier on the shore than most finds — thicker, rough-edged, carrying a sense of time and use within their layers. They appear less often, but when they do, they hold attention.
This design reflects that quiet distinction. The forms are irregular and grounded, arranged in a way that suggests accumulation rather than ornament. Their textures feel worked and weathered, shaped by years of tide and handling.
Rooted in Cornwall’s deep connection to oysters — from working harbours to the autumn festivals that celebrate them — Season of Oysters reflects a slower, more seasonal relationship with the coast, where certain things appear only when the time is right.
Below The Surface
Mussel shells appear softened and slightly out of reach, as if viewed through a thin veil of water. Their forms blur and sharpen in places, catching light unevenly as the tide moves overhead.
Below the Surface focuses on mussel shells seen not as objects on land, but as part of an underwater moment. Colour deepens and pools around them, with blues, teals and inky tones creating a sense of depth and quiet weight. The repetition of shell forms hints at clusters gathered below the tide, held together by place rather than design.
There’s a stillness here, but not absence. This print captures the feeling of knowing something is there without needing to reach it — a gentle reminder that much of the shoreline’s detail exists just beyond touch, shaped by water and revealed only when the sea allows.
Drifting Through The Tides
Seaweed stretches and threads through the composition, carrying shells with it rather than leaving them behind. The forms feel suspended and interconnected, as if caught mid-movement beneath shallow water where the tide still has hold.
Drifting Through the Tides reflects that in-between space encountered when wading through rockier shallows — where seaweed remains anchored, shells cling on, and everything moves together with the pull of water around your legs. This isn’t the tideline after the sea has gone, but the quieter zone where land and sea overlap, and life continues to sway and shift with each small surge.
The palette is deeper and more saturated, built from inky blues, dusky greens and shadowed tones that suggest water depth and filtered light. This print carries a sense of immersion rather than arrival — a moment of being surrounded, not observing from the shore, as the tide moves steadily through rather than away.
Gathered By The Sea
Shells cluster together across the surface, their shapes repeating with gentle variation. They feel collected, but not placed — drawn together naturally by the movement of water.
Gathered by the Sea reflects the way scallop shells often appear after the tide has turned, grouped and layered along the beach. Their fan-like forms create a sense of order without symmetry, shaped by currents and timing rather than intention. There’s a quiet sense of abundance here, without excess.
Soft neutrals and coastal blues keep the design grounded, allowing form and texture to take precedence. This print holds the feeling of a slow walk along the shoreline — noticing what the sea has gathered, appreciating it briefly, and leaving it behind for the tide to rearrange once more.
Hunting For Treasure
Colour appears first — softened greens, cloudy blues, pale pinks and milky whites scattered across the surface like fragments of a story. These pieces feel discovered rather than arranged, shaped by water and time rather than intention.
Hunting For Treasure reflects the quiet pleasure of beachcombing along the tidal line, where the sea leaves behind small, unexpected gifts. Sea glass, worn smooth and translucent, sits amongst darker pebbles and grains of sand, each piece carrying its own history. Repetition and variation echo the slow rhythm of walking, stopping, bending down, and moving on again.
The palette is calm and balanced, with softened edges and gentle contrast that mirrors weathered stone and salt-washed colour. This print holds a sense of curiosity without urgency — a reminder that some of the most satisfying finds are the ones noticed slowly, found not by searching hard, but by paying attention.
Soft Tides
Mussel shells appear here not as they are found, but as they’re remembered — softened, light-touched, and briefly transformed by the sea and sky around them. Pinks, lavenders and pale blues drift across the forms, like colour caught in water at the edge of evening.
Rather than focusing on texture or wear, this design leans into atmosphere. The shells seem to float and fold into one another, as though seen through shallow water or under the low, slanting rays of a setting sun. Familiar shapes are present, but they’re gently abstracted — less about reality, more about feeling.
Soft Tides captures a quieter, more reflective moment along the Cornish coast, when the day begins to thin out and the shoreline takes on a softer tone — a place where observation gives way to imagination, and the sea briefly feels luminous.
Where The Sea Grows Dark
Further from the shoreline, light fades and colour deepens. Seaweed shifts in tone and density, moving more slowly as water thickens around it.
This design explores that transition — where forms remain visible but partially obscured, their edges softened by depth. The palette is richer and darker, echoing submerged spaces where sound dulls and motion becomes steady rather than restless.
Where the Sea Grows Dark reflects a quieter relationship with the coast — not the act of collecting, but the awareness of what lies just beyond reach, held beneath the surface and moving on in its own time.
