Stories | Seaweed
Jon surfs, he surfs a lot. We don't mind because he always comes back a nicer person, more mellow, and more often than not with ideas, stuff he's had time to think about whilst sitting out the back waiting for a wave. And once he came back with seaweed! At certain times of the year there's more seaweed in the water.You notice it when paddling on your board, it gets tangled around your leash and your legs. You have to pull it off and fling it back into the water. It's then that you notice how beautiful it is, so graceful floating in slow motion, moving with the current.
So we laid out his piece of seaweed and thought about how we could share its natural beauty, without the slime or the smell!
We love textiles, so we screen printed it in our favourite colours from the Cornish pallette, onto crisp white and slate grey cotton and brought them into the kitchen as essential must haves.
We like to hang our seaweed tea towels on the aga and wear the aprons in the Barefoot Kitchen cafe.
