Inspiring Barbados Artists and Craftsmen

Capture the spirit everyone enjoys about Barbados and take it with you wherever you want.

With beautifully hand-crafted and personally inspired pieces that keep you warmed to the Caribbean.

Driving through the country side, in the parish of St. Lucy, looking for quietly put away coves and bays and awing dramatic landscapes. You can stumble upon friendly people and quaint island jewellery.

That is exactly how we found Adrean, the first person we meet here- Adrean Phillips, is a craft vendor. He specialises in making island jewellery and crafts his work from a variety of natural stones, shells and fibres.

At his stall, he also features the craft of other artisans.

Adrean’s set up is at the entrance of the road which leads to North Point and Animal Flower Cave. This is easy to find with your Barbados map at hand, don't worry, if you get lost, click here for some ideas to help you find your way.

Entering St. Lucy from the western part of the island, you can find lots of picturesque and deserted bays, little rum shops and village marts. While travelling from the eastern side you can appreciate more stunning beaches on the right and local restaurants and beach houses on your left.

The object of Adrean's stall that caught my attention was the beautiful and interesting array of shells on display.

All in favour of collecting inspiring pieces of craft will be fond of Adrean's down-to-earth “rootsy” and stimulating -island jewellery.

When we met Adrean, we were greeted with a quiet confidence, a pleasantly warm and very helpful personality. Engaging in conversation and his knowledge of St. Lucy, all the while explaining some of the materials he used to create his jewellery.

See some of this jewellery in this video clip, as Adrean tells us more about the items we liked so much.

A kind hearted and creative craftsman, this is what we liked most about his stall:
