Ocean ZN Sea Glass Studio & Country Cottage Decor - 437 Main Street Kentville
Shipped and shaped along the Fundy shores of Nova Scotia , sea glass can be found littering the beaches in beauty and treasure. With each ebb and flow of the highest tides in the world bottles, china, and other bounties find themselves shattered along their seafaring journey. Some would say these pieces have stories to tell. Stories of history, of
days gone by, of people and places far from this rocky coast.
Ocean ZN studio sells many sea glass and sea shell creations, beach inspired themed decor, as well as picked antique finds not far from the Fundy shores of the Annapolis valley. You can also pick up homemade bath salts and other great treasures.
Attend a workshop for adults and children where owner Michelle Fahie teaches you how to make your own seaglass necklace pendant to take home. Or have her come to your child's birthday party for less than $10 per person for the lesson and pendant!
Ocean ZN is tax free, open year-round and takes cash and cheque only.
Stop in and see Michelle's beautiful creations at Ocean ZN located in the old Paramount movie theatre next to TAN Coffee.
Open 10am-4:30pm Monday-Friday
