CREATIVES
Danni Coates
Artisan
There are two very different sides to Danni’s
working life, having worked in dentistry for
10 years as a qualified Dental Nurse and
Treatment Coordinator, she is now at the start of a
new business journey supplying dental finance to the
island.
When she is not in a clinical environment or stuck
with her head in her laptop, she gets crafty. Danni has
always been creative, attending college doing art and
design and working in retail as visual merchandiser
before getting into dentistry.
"Long walks along the beach
and around the island gives
me my creative energy."
“I kept up my creative passion by drawing, pebble
and sea glass art, as well as a new hobby called
Pyrography. Long walks along the beach and around
the island gives me my creative energy, collecting all
sorts of interesting bits like sea glass and unusual
looking items to craft with.”
Danni has always made gifts for friends and family
but had never thought about selling her products
until recently being given the opportunity to have a
stand within Jersey Post on Broad Street.
“Friends and family had always encouraged me
to sell my art so I felt confident enough giving it a
go. It has surprised me how popular all my quirky
bits have been and have had multiple requests for
commissioning pieces since setting up within the post
office. It’s something I have always enjoyed as a hobby
and is a great feeling getting lovely messages from
customers who have loved their purchases as much as
I love making them.” •
