MEMORY BOXES : PLACE

Do you have a favourite place that captures your heart? One that holds memories and special moments? It might be a holiday destination, a city you left behind, or your favourite beach just down the road. My memory boxes capture these special places and stories, so you carry on enjoying them for years to come.
You can see some examples below, or if you’d like a box to preserve the memories of your favourite place, please get in touch. Find out more about the process and costs here. Coffee Table Commission for Walescottages.com

This coffee table was a large and very interesting commission - around 1m in diameter - which displayed objects that had been found and collected on the site of Plas Farm holiday cottages. The unique and remarkable history of the buildings is echoed in the piece, including a button which dates back to the 17th Century and an old, rare coin. Every other section of the round window displays the changing natural world of Plas Farm through the seasons.
" Katherine was a delight to work with at every stage of the project. She took our very vague idea and showed great ingenuity, creativity and patience to produce a truly unique and wonderful piece of art". Richard Central America, Mexico and California Box

"I saw Katherine's object boxes online and was blown away. It was exactly the thing I wanted! We had travelled to Japan for the Rugby World Cup and had so many small, funny objects filled with memories that I didn't feel I could throw away, but also didn't know what to do with! Katherine was fantastic throughout the process, she was respectful of our items, and created something beautiful from our sentimental 'tat' that we can now showcase in our home."

"Katherine crafted me a beautiful box using objects collected from my holiday to India. Objects I collected included: Spices, pottery, small ornaments and bottle tops. Katherine then did the hard job of turning them into a wonderful piece of art. I was so pleased with how it turned out and it serves as a perfect memento of my trip. Thank you!"

“Ethiopia is an extraordinary country with an incredibly rich history that comes alive in my box! Photos would not do it justice. Each time I look at the box I relive celebrations of the exuberant baptism festivals, the overflowing markets and the joyousness of the people. I can still smell the incense in my box! I am reminded of the children who gave us flowers, the round adobe homes with straw roofs, the papyrus fishing boats, and the kind words in Amharic written by our wonderful guide. Thank you Katherine for a unique memory of Ethiopia... it brings the country alive for me each time I look at it”.
