About Three for the Sea
"Take Three for the Sea!"
Building on the “leave nothing but footprints” sentiment, the "three for the sea" principle encourages us to take at least three bits of extra trash away with us, each time we go to the beach. My Three for the Sea work has a zero waste aspiration, recovering unwanted items, reclaiming them, and turning them into something new to be re-loved all over again.
Hi - I'm Jen. I love the sea, wild swimming and finding treasures along the shoreline, collecting litter and plastic waste as I go. Being involved in my local community is really important to me and there's no happier place than wombling around the sand at my local beach at Wardie Bay, Edinburgh.It’s a complete joy bringing my passions together, discovering new ways to express my minimalist love of the simple things and re-love the abandoned treasures I’ve found along the Edinburgh shoreline.
If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to get in touch, or you can follow me on Facebook or Instagram to see what I've found lately and what I've been making!
