Organised chaos in my workroom.
I love my garden and working from home means that it's now my extended workspace.

A fine Kettle of Fish

Kettle of Fish designs take striking images and give them our own twist, using upcycled elements and quality, natural materials such as wood, glass, linen and felt.

I trained in Fine Art and think this gives me an unconventional way of looking at craft and design, and means that some of my techniques have a different edge to them.

Kettle of Fish designs have a strong identity and a vintage feel. They are inspired by museum cabinets, junk shops, urban decay, the beauty of nature, and the unusual and quirky in life. The work is an extension of my passion for collecting interesting and beautiful objects and images, and everything is lovingly handmade with extreme care and attention to detail.

I am always up for a challenge and love to create bespoke pieces. Whether you want golfing medals or a sheep handbag, a beetle pillbox or an octopus necklace, I've done all of these and many more. Contact me with an idea and I'll do the rest!
