Sea Green of Appledore

Rescue. Recycle. Reinvent



welcome to our site


Based on recycling, Sea Green is a small workshop/gallery in the heart of Appledore.

 A small fishing village on the North Devon coast Appledore has an expanding arts and craft quarter tucked away behind the bustling quay, so come and find us I guarantee you'll be pleasently surprised.

"Just call me the bag lady". It's amazing how the people of Appledore have taken me and my quirky little shop to their hearts.

Odd bathroom tiles on the doorstep and boxes of broken china and old silver plate cutlery dropped in by customers when they come to buy my recycled jewellery, or fruit bowls and flower pots made from unwanted L.Ps.

"Just popped in" said a neighbour "to see if you wanted any of old auntie Mabel's left over furniture before we take it to the dump.

I'm a rescuer, I can't help it, if I see an abandoned animal, a tumble down house or something useful that just needs a bit of T.L.C I cant resist having a go.

I take things that no longer have a use and give them a new lease of life so that they are wanted again. Knives and forks for coat hooks,
Cracked china into Mosaic mirrors, old dark furniture into lovingly restored and painted shabby chic pieces, the height of fashion right now.

From cushions, table cloths and quilts made from discarded curtains and jewellery from broken or unwanted costume pieces.

It's fun, Its quirky but best of all it's useful and on a serious side it gives a very good message to all my visitors it's time we SAVED WASTE.

Easter Onwards---Workshops

Hello everyone, I’ve been really busy making stock for the summer but I’ve suddenly started getting workshop enquiries so I thought I’d better do an update.

Summer afternoon workshop are now up and running and the winter morning workshops are now on hold till after the seasons finished, can’t fit in both with the shop to run as well.

So workshop’s are now most afternoons 2am till 4ish and you will go away with at least one finished piece.

You have a choice of driftwood, mosaic or jewellery and the first to book get to choose what we do on any particular day.Groups are limited to 6 places, Children over ten can come alone or younger children depending on ability with an adult.

The cost is £20.00 including all materials and refreshments, you don’t need to bring anything.

Well hope to see you soon and enjoy the sunshine,

Josie.x
