Sarah Cox - Paper Maché Artist

Описание: Most of the things I make are probably marine based or sea life. I suppose that started because I didn't start making these until we moved by the sea. I love the sea,

I always wanted to live by the sea. So I wanted our children to grow up by the sea. So then I started off with three fish and it just grew, grew and grew. Whenever I see a nice funky colourful fish then I've made it.
I get commissions to make different fish and the weirder the better really. I like everything to be colourful, cheerful. So yeah lots of colour. I use recycling It probably started off as a way to keep my costs down cos it was free so I started using card and newspaper that we had and then as it grew I now get it given to me by lots of local businesses and whatever I can recycle I recycle.

I sell my Paper maché pieces in quite a few places. You can get it direct from me which is the best way then you can tell me exactly what you want, what colour what size. I also sell online facebook, instagram and I have a website.

You can buy my paper maché locally from the Curious Mr Fogg down near the harbour. They've got a good selection there and my ice creams and fab lollies are very popular there as well as cheeky seagulls. It's a lovely shop there, well worth a visit I would say.

I do sell in New Line Gallery in Woolacombe there. Which I love cos that's the first place I started selling in and she's helped me loads really and encouraged me and it's still popular there now and I get a lot of people that have visited there year on year and each year they'll come back for a new piece to add to their collection which is great.

I love Ilfracombe because it's a great community a really friendly place, really really friendly place and people are just so friendly it's lovely. Moving from a city to here was just totally different and it's beautiful. I don't think a lot of people realise just how lovely ilfracombe is. I use it as a backdrop for photographing my fish as well cos it's perfect. People love that, my customers really like to see what Ilfracombe looks like. Yeah it's lovely..... perfect.... I love it!
