East Neuk Beach Crafts: coastal craft and sea glass jewellery in Scotland

East Neuk Beach Crafts is an online gift and craft shop based in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The business, run by artist Louise Stocker, combines collecting sea-worn materials from local beaches with creating sea glass jewellery, watercolour illustrations and a wide range of homeware and gifts inspired by the Scottish coastline and the Highlands.

Handmade sea glass jewellery

The company makes earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets using genuine sea glass collected from Fife beaches. It also works with antique sea pottery to create jewellery pieces. All jewellery is described as handmade in the East Neuk of Fife. In addition, the shop offers laser-cut maple wood jewellery with original designs.

Louise Stocker creates watercolour illustrations with coastal and Scottish wildlife themes. These works are sold as limited-edition, signed giclée prints, as well as framed original art. Motifs include puffins, seagulls, seals, whales, Highland cows and the Loch Ness Monster, among others. The illustrations are also applied to an extensive product line: coasters, placemats, mugs, tea towels, shopping bags, cushion covers, keyrings, fridge magnets, bookmarks, pin badges, 1000-piece jigsaws and wooden and driftwood ornaments.
