Spring is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Kent. Many historic houses and castles begin opening up their gardens to visitors, and bluebells and daffodils can be seen adorning the many woodlands and roadsides. One of my own favourite springtime activites is wandering through the many beautiful, and sometimes neglected churchyards in the county. These peaceful places with their tumbling headstones are a haven for beautiful wildflowers, whilst also providing a place for peaceful reflection as you observe the names of those who have passed. A nice way to keep these crumbling names alive is to take a wax crayons and strong paper, and do some grave rubbings - always ensure you ask permission before you do so. Churchyards and graveyards don't have to represent the sad and the macabre - they can also be beautiful, thought-provoking places and a haven for new life in the form of flowers and wildlife.
Kentish Spring is a metallic spring green ghost adorned with colourful spring flowers around the base, and finished with a satin UV resistant sealant.
Each Kent Coast Ghost is carefully handcrafted from clay and goes through several processes which include drying, sanding, sealing, painting, and finally varnishing, (dependent on the final finish). We don't use moulds to create our ghosts - every feature is added by hand using traditional clay tools - so every single one has its own unique features. Some of our ghosts are not perfectly straight, or may have different expressions in their eyes and faces...
They are also individually hand-painted so may contain slightly different patterning to the ghost pictured. This means that your ghost will not be exactly the same as the one photographed, as each one is as unique as you are.
All of our ghosts will be sent in a gift box with a Certificate of Authenticity especially for your ghost, and yours alone. These are put in a special envelope sealed with our very own special spooky wax seal.
Different screen resolutions can change the accuracy of the colours slightly, and your ghost may look different from the one pictured due to the handmade nature of these curious creations. Please also note the certificate of authenticity pictured will be unique to your ghost and will contain different information.

All sizes are approximate and may vary.
All of our clay is weighed equally and individually shaped entirely by hand. Other factors, such as humidity can affect the drying process of the clay, and therefore affect the size of our ghosts as well as the shape.
