About ArtHeart1982

Welcome to ArtHeart1982, your destination for unique arts, crafts, and home furnishings created with love and creativity. Based in Folkestone, Kent, we offer a diverse collection of handmade items, from bright, eye-catching homeware to quirky, vibrant functional art. Each piece is designed and crafted by us, Andrea and David, combining our passion for art, design, and sustainability.

Meet the Artists

Andrea is the founder of ArtHeart1982 and an architect by training, with a creative twist. She specializes in sewing vibrant homeware items using Dutch wax fabrics, creating bright, eye-catching cushions, bags, and more. Andrea also designs her own images, which she prints onto a variety of items like bags and mugs, making each creation truly one-of-a-kind.

David, a graphic design graduate from the Kent Institute of Art and Design, has a passion for upcycling materials, often using offcuts from Andrea’s projects to make his own creations. His work includes sketchbooks, wallets, and the fascinating ornamental clay balls known as Dorodangos.

Together, we combine our individual talents and love for handmade artistry to bring you distinctive, high-quality pieces for your home and lifestyle.
