ABOUT US

We took the plunge 22 years ago to move us, our two boys and the cats from Hampshire to South Somerset and, here we are, in the middle of the countryside and close to the sea!

A few years later, after retiring from busy jobs and then enjoying at least 3 days of doing nothing!  We decided to use our creative skills and put the little summerhouse at the bottom of our garden to better use and Drift Away Craft Studio was born.

We were unsure exactly what we would like to do but, while out walking along the beach at Charmouth, we literally stumbled on a large piece of beautiful driftwood and it gave us our inspiration to re-use and re-purpose these wonderful pieces of nature.

We later decided to diversify and move into creating stunning pieces using resin. We love this technique, the way each piece comes out entirely differently, even though the same mica powders and pigments have been used, we excitedly return to the studio the next day to see how our artwork has settled and cured overnight.

Our love of the sea and coastline is present in most of our artwork, we are also combining our love of driftwood and resin to create some stunning and unique pieces.

We always aim to use sustainable and planet friendly techniques with everything we make and re-use as much packaging as possible.

As each item is handmade, each piece is different and has its own personality, a bit like us!
