Genuine Imitation Shingle

100% Hand Thrown Ceramic Fragments100% Made In Folkestone

Every body loves a trip to the sea side. However geographical confinement means this cannot always be possible, hence the popularity of the seaside souvenir keep sake.

Recently The Go Go whippet sea side pottery has created "Genuine Imitation Shingle," a 100% artificial sea side experience, utilizing traditional ceramic processes and a range of clay bodies, to recreate the subtle qualities and color variations of real Kentish shingle.

The process of manufacture means that no two fragments are ever the same, offering the recipient (you) the enjoyment and amusement of beach combing* straight out of the bag,
retaining many of the original features that real shingle has to offer.

* Did you know? Removing shingle from an English beach is a criminal offense?

All fragments have been hand crafted at The Go Go Whippet Sea Side Pottery,by Matthew Rowe.

The Go Go Whippet Sea Side Pottery aims to produce ceramic works that investigate the traditions and cultural heritage of the ever evolving English seaside resort.
