Sea and Slate

 

When we started The Goodwash Company we knew we wanted to work with only the finest ethical establishments that share our philosophy. Placing purpose before profit with a ‘golden thread’ of social consciousness running throughout every thought.

We are delighted to share that we now have a presence in the village of Llangrannog in the most gorgeous bespoke Gallery Sea and Slate.

The Gallery (opened on 5th July 2018 in Llangrannog, Ceredigion) was born out of the need to showcase create and promote the incredible talents of beautiful Welsh arts & crafts. Our Welsh wash products born and bathed in Wales are the perfect fit, made with only the very finest natural ingredients from our land and sea.

 

Sea and Slate Founder Spot tell us  ‘It all started with commissioning artist and illustrator Tom Frost https://theboyfrost.bigcartel.com/, (based in Llanboidy, Carmarthenshire) to design our logo and signage for the gallery. spot quotes: ‘ There is a huge necessity to encourage and nurture both new and established talent in Wales, otherwise we’ll lose them forever’

 

 

The Sea & Slate Gallery: is based in a tiny old fisherman’s shed, by the sea in Llangrannog – With the help of the local artists, we have spent the last few months lime rendering and lime washing the interior, exposing the tiny fireplace and giving the shed a fresh and new lease of life. The community of Llangrannog has pulled together an amazing array of talent producing paintings, slate carvings, glass jewellery, print making, fab photography, weaving, bronze work, spoon carving and wire sculptures.
