If you like to surround yourself with beautiful things, all individually made with love and care, visit Coastal Creatives. In our boutique style gallery you will find a treasure trove of gifts including ceramics, local seascape paintings and photography, Dorset driftwood and oyster shell candles. Plus unique jewellery and vintage inspired fashion accessories, all made in Britain.
Coastal Creatives have handpicked exciting collections by both local and nationally acclaimed artists including Serena Hall, Cockles and Mussels Designs, Sew Sister, Lewis Banks, Sally Winters, Caroline Barnes and Rosie Emerson to name a few.
Alternatively, you may feel like getting creative yourself, so dust down your sewing machine, dig out your beads, and join us in our craft studio for a day of pure 'me time'. The Coastal Creatives workshop programme includes handbag making, beaded jewellery, fabulous felt making, seasonal interior decorations and even the chance to make a tiara. With guidance from our experienced tutors, helped by a slice or two of cake, you are sure to leave with a piece of work to be proud of!
Craft Studio

These classes are small and friendly with a high level of attention and support given to students throughout the day, and a re equally suitable for complete beginners and those with some previous experience.
By the end of a workshop students will have designed and made at least one beautiful and stylish creation, finished to a professional standard. Students will also be equipped with the skills to create a variety of textile or jewellery pieces independently in the future.
