Claire Louise

Claire Louise is an artist and designer from Durham in the UK. As a child, Claire was immersed in arts and crafts and so began her creative journey.

And, with past stockists such as John Lewis, Fenwick, Hoopers, and large independent retailer’s such as Blackwells, Kew Gardens, Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and Chester Zoo and Wayfair, Claire is quickly becoming popular in the industry.
