Stour Driftwork
Stour Driftwork has a collection of handmade art, crafts and gifts inspired by a tidal estuary and coastal living, using materials that have been unremittingly lifted and re-deposited by each returning tide. Impregnated with water, salt and sand, they were found half buried in the detritus of a tideline and subsequently recovered from their previous fate of tide and weather. Some bearing remnants of paint long gone, hinges, latches or nails suggesting a former history. Others have contorted twisted shapes but by placing one time ridden piece against another, original and unique pieces have been fashioned offering a new role for these abandoned remnants.
