The Conker & the Snail

£215.00

A beautiful gilded conker with a gilded snail. This year I collected conkers with my sister and when I got home there was a little snail amongst my hoard. It inspired me to include a snail from my collection made in Scotland while on a residency. There will be more to follow.

Made to turn in the palm of your hand.

Inspired by a lifetime of collecting them, it is the perfect gift for someone who never comes home from a walk with empty pockets.

Cast from the original foraged in Newcastle upon Tyne.
