Linda created a miniature Sea Chest that was lined with an exquisitely fine painting by Michaye, while Karin and Sally combined their respective design sensibilities and technical skills to create the organic-shaped sculptural vessel, Upwelling. Sea stories aimed to extend the creative process that had been initiated by these earlier projects, but it was intended that the process of collaboration would develop organically, rather than be specifically prescribed. The combination of jeweller, painter, object and furniture designers proffers a diverse range of skills, but each shares similar sensibilities and a generosity that allowed inspiration to be drawn from each others work. The collective experience and love of the sea provided a raft to float discussions and from which to chart a journey of discovery.

The Sea Stories Journey Sea stories began long before our first meeting in Michayes studio at Salamanca on a fine spring morning towards the end of 2011.
