Specializing in unique artistic creations and décor, Primitively Coastal joins folk techniques with beach and coastal designs. Working mainly with wood and wire, these tidal treasures make great additions to any home. This business began along the shores of Lake Ontario where owner and creator Wesley Salen and his wife Sara found a connection with primitive folk concepts. Their longing to be near the ocean led them to relocating to their favorite place in the world, Charleston. Primitively Coastal offers a variety of shelf sitters, wall hangers, and ground standers that include coastal birds, beach creatures, ocean life, and lighthouses. They also offer splendid seasonal items such as snowmen, crows, salt box houses, haunted houses, birdhouses, spooky collectibles, holiday decorations, and so much more.
This style of basket was originally made to winnow rice on local plantations. Today, sweetgrass baskets are works of art and highly sought after souvenirs.
