About

Once upon a time, Arty Octopus longed to be an artist. She spent a few years dabbling in the arts as a student at Visual Art School, but felt a strong pull towards working with children. So she changed tact, completed a Bachelor of Education, and became a teacher.

Arty Octopus has spent the last 14 years dedicated to children and education, both in Australia and Germany. Over that time, her one constant has been her commitment to her fashion sense - channeling her inner Miss Frizzle and matching clothes and accessories to what ever the classroom theme might be.

It is this love of themed accessories that has brought Arty Octopus full circle to her creative roots. She loves to create interesting laser cut acrylic jewellery pieces that fit perfectly for teachers with a similar attitude to classroom fashion, or just for those with a love of chunky, whimsical jewellery. With so many years of classroom experience, who knows what the next theme or concept might be!
