The Studio

Where the ocean meets the imagination

Every piece begins with a walk along the shoreline. Sea glass smoothed by decades of tide, shells shaped by currents, fragments of a world beneath the waves — gathered by hand and transformed into art that tells a story only the ocean could write.

Made by hand,
inspired by the coast

OceanFormed is the work of Matthew Haysom — artist, digital creative turned coastal maker. After fifteen years in digital design, Matthew returned to working with his hands, finding art in the materials the sea leaves behind. Every piece is a collaboration between nature's shaping and an artist's eye.
