I am an amateur artist living in Arnside since 2008 . The beauty of the surrounding countryside has inspired me to take up painting as a hobby. I enjoy doing mainly watercolour pictures and cards.

Nicola makes them all using eco-friendly materials and wooden Fsc-certified wicks. Every colourful glass or ceramic vessel is thoughtfully chosen to be refillable, reusable, or both, ensuring sustainability and style. The range also includes eco-friendly, botanical wax melts.

I started painting after I retired and have overtime experienced with a wide variety of media but tend to be inspired by landscape but I also get pleasure from experimenting with abstract and colour.
I rediscovered pottery after changing careers, when I joined an evening class at my community art centre. I now work from my Morecambe studio and creates white‑stoneware pieces on the wheel, that I alter and finish with delicate glazes, slips and Sgraffito decoration.
I live in a small hamlet in Silverdale where design and create hand made pieces inspired by my love of traditional crafts. ◦ Knitting has always been something I find deeply relaxing and therapeutic and the sense of calm and enjoyment is woven into everything I make. Since retiring, I have been able to dedicate more time to my craft turning a lifelong passion into a small business where I can share my work with others. I take a great pride in using high quality yarns such as Alpaca Cashmere and wool with a particular love for soft Merino ◦ Every item I Create is made with care and attention.
