Meet our Christmas Creatives
The West Seaweed Press
Claire started pressing seaweed foraged from local shores in Lahinch in 2021 and was instantly hooked. The West Seaweed Press was created a year later, and offers cards and original artworks featuring pressed seaweed. Each piece of seaweed is meticulously foraged, then arranged onto archival quality acid-free watercolour parchment. It is hand-pressed over a number of weeks, until completely dried and fused with the paper. This creates an original pressed piece of art as bespoke and unique as the next.
Melt Jewellery
Melt Jewellery by Nina Philips creates handmade, unique pieces from up-cycled, thrifted beads. Every design is different or is part of a limited addition. Nina Philips, the creator and owner of Melt mainly works with semi- precious stones, pearls, glass and ceramic. She strives to create pieces that make people feel like they’re wearing something uniquely beautiful and handmade while at the same time countering our fast moving consumer society and throw away culture.
