Tablet + Haar tablet + haar is the art and design studio run by Katie Ebben Smith Katie uses screen printing, embroidery and felting techniques to create her products.

tablet + haar is the textile studio run by designer Katie Ebben Smith from the seaside village of Crail, Scotland. She named her printmaking studio after two of her great loves: the haar (sea mist) which rolls inland creating an enveloping, oh-so-quiet and mysterious atmosphere that she finds inspiring and tablet - an ultra sweet and crumbly Scottish version of fudge - which hurts her teeth but just one square inch keeps her happily pulling screens for hours.

Some paintings emerge quietly.
This one fought its way into being.

Starting as something soft, readable almost careful. But it didn’t feel “finished” and was asking for something louder, more vibrant and defined.

So I pushed it.
More contrast.
A bigger brush.
More movement.
Less certainty.

I love and fear that awkward middle ground where a painting is both breaking apart and becoming itself at the same time. The messy stages are the worst and usually the most honest.

Now I am at that familiar question:
is it finished…or am I afraid to ruin it?

A pause before the painting begins.

Some of these coastal landscapes are still finding their way, others feel resolved, but seeing them together like this helps me understand the conversation they’re having as a body of work. Colour, tide lines, weather, memory, rhythm.

I’ve just come back from a dog walk along the coast path - wind (always), salt air, birdsong, shifting light - and I am carrying all of that back into the studio this morning. Time now to begin again.

Hello, I am Katie the artist behind table+HAAR and if you have found your way here, I think we probably love many of the same things:

The sea.
Quiet mornings.
Beautiful spaces that feel calm, layered
and lived in.
The way art can completely change the
feeling of a room.

I create abstract coastal paintings inspired by shifting tides, weathered shores, soft light and the emotional pull of the sea. My work is less about painting a literal place, and more about capturing a feeling - peace, escape, nostalgia, stillness.

I feel most myself when I am painting. When I am mixing colour palettes, layering texture and form to create images that bring a sense of calm to someone’s home.

I believe our surroundings matter - especially in this season of life. Home is more than just somewhere we live. It is a sanctuary, a reflection of who we are, what we have gathered, what we value and how we want to feel.

So I create art for people who want their homes to feel beautiful, soulful and serene. For people who collect pieces slowly and intentionally. Who want art that feels timeless rather than trend led.

If you’re drawn to coastal interiors, natural textures and calm, layered spaces, with a subtle pop of colour, I hope my work feels at home with you.

I am so glad you’re here 🤍

Some walks stay with you long after you come home.
These new paintings are inspired by those moments in the landscape when the weather shifts and the light changes. Layers of colour and movement capture the feeling of being there — wind, space, and memory.
