Mrs Clarke is the creator of the Howie & Bo range of chalk paints, waxes and accessories, produced locally in Suffolk.
Where It All Began
“Being a Suffolk girl, my ambition was to produce a range of colours that is contemporary and luxurious, and of the highest quality. I also wanted my brand to celebrate the finest, locally sourced ingredients Suffolk has to offer,” says Mrs Clarke.
The range was first introduced in 2017 and now showcases 14 gorgeous colours, finishing coats and waxes.
Howie & Bo on The Craft Channel
Those of you crafty folks may recall having seen Howie & Bo previously - when the range appeared on The Craft Channel with Alicia demonstrating different methods and applications in which Chalk Paint can be used. Do you recall seeing the demonstrations? We'd love to hear!
What's Coming Next
We are very excited to be introducing new colours and finishes in the new year
We will also offer in the new year a bespoke furniture painting service, whereby we will source the furniture of your specification and then paint it in the colour of your choice. Alternatively, we can also paint furniture you already have.
Where to buy
Howie & Bo is available exclusively at Mrs Clarke’s General Store.
