Upgrade your home and living range with our wooden coasters and placemats. Great for displaying on coffee tables and dining tables as well as protecting surfaces from water and heat marks.
“A goldfinch, a gilded spark in summer’s embrace, flutters through thistle and meadow, its song a rippling stream of liquid sunlight dancing on the breeze.”.
Inspired by the charm of the British countryside, this collection of placemats and matching coasters features twelve beautifully illustrated British birds from my original watercolour artwork for the Countryside Chorus Book. Each design is reproduced in rich colour and finished with a durable high-gloss surface that enhances the detail while offering everyday practicality. The natural cork backing protects your table and adds a traditional touch. Perfect for country kitchens, garden rooms and thoughtful gifting, these pieces bring art and nature together at the table.

Artist statement:
Living my entire life in the Lincolnshire countryside surrounded by flowers and nature has inspired me with the colors and shapes of the natural world. Consequently, I love bright colours and find the variation in texture and form that plants impart fascinating, which in turn influences my work.
Moreover, I am brimming with ideas and constantly creating things. In addition, I enjoy finding uses for unwanted fabrics and yarns, and I relish the challenge of producing something beautiful and unusual from discarded scraps.
In this high-tech age of hustle and bustle, I find myself increasingly preoccupied with keeping alive the traditional sewing and knitting skills and values passed down to me. I believe these qualities should be preserved for future generations. While I dislike the throwaway society we have become, I wholeheartedly embrace the ‘make do and mend’ attitude that our ancestors believed in.
Finally, my original artwork disciplines mainly focus on painting (including my love of miniature paintings) and textile art (including creative knitting and hand embroidery).
