Our Concept
An Oyster’s Tale
Every shell has a tale to tell.
Our shells are from the west coast of Ireland, picked from the waters of the world-famous “Galway Bay” part of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
They are tumbled by ocean waves and shaped by the elements, resulting in varying sizes and shapes. Variations such as; growth marks, ragged edges, chipped backs and barnacles make each one special.
Every shell is individually picked, cleaned, prepared, hand painted and decorated by our artists at our studio in Galway.
Whether you receive one of our pieces as a gift or purchased it for yourself as a decoration, a memento of a trip, or for friends or family to mark an occasion or relationship – you are adding to that Oyster’s tale.
WHAT we do
Create art from natural materials
We work with nature by hand-decorating what nature gives us. We handcraft beautiful home decor items and coastal-inspired gifts.
Our materials are picked from the waters and shores of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
Each art piece is a truly one-of-a-kind gift because no two are alike. They are tossed by ocean waves and sculpted by the forces of nature, developing different marks and shapes.
