Splashy Sliders X Steve PP Art Bead

Introducing our latest collaboration with our good friend and wonderfully talented artist Steve PP.

Steve PP is a North Devon artist who lives in the beautiful seaside village of Woolacombe, in the South West of the UK.

Steve creates vibrant, colourful landscape paintings in a contemporary coastal impressionist style. Painting direct from nature out on the coast, pushing colour to create paintings that celebrate the connection with nature that makes us all feel good. Putting us all in a tangible connection with our happy place.

He specialises in searching for fresh views and compositions by walking and exploring the coast every day. One of the many rewards of being a North Devon artist. He also enjoys travelling and painting new locations lit by strong sunlight.

We worked closely with Steve PP to create a trio of beads inspired by some of his most popular art works.

Inspired by Steve's iconic "Splashy Sliders" series of paintings. We start by making a small core of turquoise and ink blue glass which is swirled together. A layer of clear glass is then melted over the core before we wrap meandering stringers of white and dark turquoise around the bead and encase it in more clear glass. The surface is then decorated in random dots of colour. Each one of these beads will be entirely unique with different dot placements to represent the individuality of Steve's paintings.
