Formed in the garden shed in 1999 by business partners Heidi Bowman BA Hons and Steve Clawson (and formerly called FISH craft and design), Giddy Kipper can now be found in an old malthouse in rural Lincolnshire.



After completing a textile degree and living and working in Manchester for 6 years, Heidi returned to her Lincolnshire base. Steve also returned to Lincolnshire from working in London and the couple, who have been friends for 20 years, set up their own business - combining Heidi's artistic skills and Steve's business knowledge.


Steve soon showed great talent for hitting things with hammers and Heidi who had been 'colouring-in' for years (as a freelance designer!), quickly built up their first range - inspired by the sea and family holidays spent on the North Norfolk coast, and began travelling to craft shows to sell their wares.

They now produce excellent and original home accessories, small pieces of furniture, decorative items and gifts. All of the items are handmade by the partners and hand painted by Heidi.
Their ranges now cover fun stuff for Kids, the ever-popular seaside and rustic country-style

Designs have been featured in several magazines and the front page of a Hong Kong newspaper!

Heidi no longer freelances as a card, giftwrap or giftware designer - as Giddy Kipper now takes up all of her time - but had completed projects for UK companies such as House of Fraser, Bhs, Wax lyrical, Tesco, John Lewis and The Blue Cross animal welfare charity. Her giftwrap and card designs were sold in the USA and UK and her Kids textile designs to Germany, Holland and USA.
