Tangwen Sandersons seaside nosalgia parlour


In Brewers Quay. Brilliant.








I was immediately transported back to the age of seven, on a seaside holiday at grans, even though this never happened. Very relaxing with the soothing cries of seagulls and all sorts of thought full pieces, rich in detail, conveying melancholy...

Loads of flotsam, jetsum, bricabrac, and hot glue guns on the table, ready for making. And lots of wonderful finished products in the shop window forming the growing installation. Enchanting.

Look out for a web version of the Parlour and Tangwens new site soon...
