The starting point for Kindred Handmade was on this beach in Estepona.
Last year I was visiting family in Spain for what was supposed to be a short holiday, when the first lockdown started and we couldn’t leave for 4 months. All flights were grounded, all travel suspended.
For 2 months we weren’t able to leave the house if not to buy food or go to the doctor, and it was really tough.
The days got interminable, I had nothing to do, no tools or materials to be creative with, and my poor 18 months old baby was going crazy out of boredom.
When they finally allowed us out for walks, I used to go to this small, isolated beach and collect seashells and sea glass, with which I them played on paper.
When we eventually were able to leave, I had 1kg of sea glass in my luggage and a plan to open a shop selling sea glass art.
