Framed Oyster Shells - Delft Blue Fish

I'm Eoin, an artist/craftsperson based on the West Coast of Ireland. 

I have a passion for creating art that brings joy. My hand-decorated oyster shells are inspired by the wild Atlantic Ocean, visible from my small studio.

The shells are local, picked from the shores of Galway Bay, traditional oyster farms and local seafood restaurants, where they might otherwise end up in a landfill.

I called my business Oyster Tales as I believe every shell has a unique tale to tell; their shape, size, chips and markings all add to their character. They are tumbled by the Oceans, shaped by the seasons and decorated by hand. You are adding to this oyster's tale by purchasing or gifting one of these.

There is an inherently nostalgic look and feel to my hand-decorated oyster shells that make unique and appealing Christmas gifts that will catch the eye. Beautifully natural and chosen for their beauty and intricacy, these shells can be hung on the tree, adding a touch of elegance and honest charm to holiday decorations.  

Whether as a small token or a standout centrepiece, my hand-decorated oyster shell gifts are a delightful choice for those seeking something different this Christmas.

I am passionate about my craft and creating beautiful pieces that bring a smile to your face. I hope you enjoy our products as much as I enjoy making them.
