Inspired by the seaside and nature: salty rock pools, translucent petals, metallic feathers, iridescent butterfly wings, racing clouds, brilliant sunshine, silvery moonlight, driving rain...
Items are handmade in Sussex, United Kingdom.
I make one-off pieces and small batches. I can make items to order for weddings or other special occasions.
Cold porcelain items are unique. Every batch of marbled cold porcelain is different, gold leaf falls and cracks in unexpected ways each time it is applied. The beauty is in the accidental. Just like nature.
Shell items are all different sizes and shapes (measurements are approximate) and applied paint, gold leaf and other media vary in design from piece to piece.
Jewellery items are assembled using gold plated components. Some decorative elements are 'found' and upcycled, created from cold porcelain or bought from jewellery suppliers in small batches.
Sky and Sea is not a factory. Items are made by a gentle human preserving a tactile piece of nature.
