My career started in theatre prop and window display making and dressing after 2 years at KIAD art college with graphic design qualification from Bournemouth and Poole College of Art and Design prior to that.

 

The Crackled Horse started with a little vintage wooden horse bought in a Swiss brocante in 2001.

It had a lovely naive shape but was in need of TLC.

I gave it a new lease of life with a paint effect, new horse tail and polished wheels and reliased I loved painting on wood.

Furniture, gifts and accessories followed and I began to sell at school fairs and craft events working from my studio, The Loft Room.

 

I was asked to personalise things, plan things for weddings and much more and from there, my cottage industry grew.

From craft fairs to prop designs to Christmas Grotto building, I will consider most projects beyond my range of products available here.

​

Please be aware that all work is hand produced by me and not mass made, therefore uniformity and changes may occur due to supplier changes and availability.

However, I will communicate any changes that will alter or jeopardise a product.
