✨ All orders are sent with Royal Mail Tracked 48. For certain items, this is already built into the price. I reuse outer packaging where possible. For gifts sent directly to the recipient, let me know and I'll use fresh packaging. ✨

Not listed for international shipping just yet, but I’m happy to chat about options if you're outside the UK. (Please note, this currently excludes Northern Ireland, Europe and USA unfortunately.)

Each piece is handmade with heart, so no two will ever be exactly alike. Resin loves to do its own thing, which means you may spot tiny bubbles, little quirks or playful swirls of colour. With clay, you might notice gentle impressions from the making process too.

These aren’t flaws, they’re the marks of real craftsmanship and part of what makes your piece truly one‑of‑a‑kind.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Got a question or a custom idea in mind? Pop me a message, I’d love to hear from you.

Crafting whimsical makes in resin and clay, fuelled by ideas, experiments and my opinionated cats.

Hi, I’m Lorraine - a lifelong maker who loves creating handmade pieces in resin, clay and whatever medium captures my curiosity next. My work ranges from resin coasters, trays and tiny cats to clay diffuser stones, jewellery and the occasional crocheted oddity that makes me smile.

I keep a little book of ideas and I’m always experimenting. Some pieces become instant favourites, others are happy accidents and a few never see the light of day - all part of the joy of making. I began working with resin in 2024 and recently fell in love with air‑dry clay too.

I take great care with every piece, though resin and clay both have their quirks, so tiny bubbles, small impressions or colour variations may appear. These natural imperfections are part of the handmade charm and no two pieces will ever be exactly the same.

I live in Sussex with my family and two rescue cats, one of whom regularly “assists” in the studio. My black‑cat logo is based on a photo of a beloved companion watching snow - a moment that still inspires me.

If you have any questions or would like something customised, feel free to get in touch. Thank you for supporting handmade.
