Get Arty with Cath Kidston: How to Paint Seaside Shells

Show of hands who had a prized collection of seashells when they were younger? Who held them up to their ears – even the tiny little ones – to see if they could hear the sea? We’ll be honest, we still can’t help but crouch down when something shiny catches our eye during a beach walk. In fact, it’s what inspired our Seaside Shells print.

“We were on holiday last summer and my daughter and I picked all these shells out of the water. We came home and my husband pulled them out of his pocket and there was a hermit crab in there! Searching for shells is a memory shared by all generations. There’s such a sense of discovery and it’s such a joyful way to spend time. Every shell is a treasure, every shell is a win.” – Christine, our Print Director.
