It all started with the British version of Country Living magazine.  That’s where I first saw pictures of gypsy vardos and fell completely, madly, deeply… well I really, really liked them a lot.  Even the most simple caravans have such charm to them.  The ones I have visited are really the most lovely, warm, inviting little spaces I’ve ever been in.  And so I was hooked.  But still, it took a while for my interest in caravans to turn to thoughts of a career since I was pretty happy and comfortable making my living as a clay artist.  And then one day it just seemed silly not to make caravans, after all it combined so many of my interests and previous experiences in building, art and design.

So here I am building caravans, with the help of my husband Lawrence Nyberg, who lends a hand when it’s  needed, acts as a sounding board for my ideas and is a great support in general- he is a very fine luthier the rest of the time.” – Hornby Island Caravans-About us.
