Where the ocean becomes art

Sand & Spirit was born from my love of the coast and a desire to capture a little of that feeling in pieces you can enjoy every day.

From ocean-inspired resin art and homeware to jewellery and meaningful keepsakes, every piece is individually handcrafted by me. No two resin pours are ever exactly the same, making each creation completely unique.

Whether you discover Sand & Spirit online or meet me at one of my events, I hope you find something that brings a little piece of the ocean, or a precious memory, closer to you.

Hi, I’m Caroline

What began as a love of working with resin has grown into a collection of coastal-inspired art, homeware and jewellery, all individually handmade by me.

I create every piece myself, from choosing the colours and creating the resin waves to all those little finishing touches. Because everything is handmade, no two pieces are ever exactly the same, something I particularly love about working with resin.

Alongside my coastal collections, I also create custom pieces and memorial jewellery using ashes. It’s a part of Sand & Spirit that means a great deal to me, and every memorial piece is made with the care and respect that something so precious deserves.

When you buy from Sand & Spirit, you’re buying from a small independent business and a real person: me! I hope you love owning your piece as much as I love creating it.

How I make

Jars of coloured mica powders used to colour Sand & Spirit resin

Choosing the colours

I carefully select and blend colours to create beautiful, unique designs inspired by the coast.

Pouring

Every piece is carefully hand-poured, so no two creations are ever exactly alike.

Creating the waves

Each wave is individually created by hand, giving every piece its own unique shoreline.

Finishing

Every piece is carefully sanded, smoothed and checked by hand for a beautiful finish.

Memorial jewellery

I make sterling silver jewellery with a small amount of a loved one’s or pet’s ashes, so you can keep them close. Every memorial piece is made with particular care and respect, knowing just how much it means.

Sand & Spirit is proud to partner with A.B. Walker & Son Funeral Directors, who offer a curated selection of my handcrafted memorial jewellery to the families they support.

Custom orders

Sometimes it’s ashes. Sometimes it’s sand from a favourite beach. Sometimes it’s a place, a holiday, a person or a moment in time.

Whatever your story, I’ll work with you to create something beautifully personal that you can keep close.

Kind words

“It will remind me of them always.”

I couldn’t be more pleased with my necklace. It’s beautiful, better than my expectations. I have so many lovely memories, and my necklace will remind me of them always.

“So sentimental to make his parents part of our day.”

I asked Caroline to create cufflinks containing ashes from my soon-to-be husband’s late mum and dad for our wedding day. They are truly gorgeous, and it meant we could make his parents a part of our day.

“Beautiful finished products and unbeatable customer service.”

I commissioned Sand & Spirit to create some coasters and cufflinks using sand from a very special place, and Caroline delivered! Fantastic attention to detail. Very highly recommended.
