Exeter

Working with the materials available in our surrounding countryside to produce unique and beautiful things and simultaneously provide value and management incentives to improve our precious local woodlands. Having graduated with an Honours Degree in Aerospace Engineering of all things Alasdair eventually found himself working in South London as an Elevator Engineer. This highly unsuitable lifestyle resulted in a three year VSO teaching placement in Ghana, where Alasdair found the inspiration he was looking for and returned to the UK to study for an MSc. in Environmental Forestry in Bangor, North Wales. After a brief stint working for the University, and determined never to work indoors again, Alasdair secured a Woodland Rangers post with the National Trust and spent the next ten years caring for and working with coastal native woodland and parkland in Gwynedd and Anglesey. During this time he discovered that engineering, teaching and a passion for woods and wood work were the ideal ingredients for his own venture. When the chance arose to move with his young family to South Devon, Little Acorn Furniture was born. In addition to furniture making and greenwood courses, Alasdair operates Little Acorn Forestry providing a range of forestry and conservation services from management planning to tree felling, planting and invasive species control. This often provides a sustainable source of local material for Little Acorn Furniture and the two elements provide an environmentally beneficial service quite literally from tree to table, or chair or whatever else it is you may require.

Kate feels extremely privileged to have worked with her hands for much of her adult life making sculpture and working stone. It has suited her practical and creative nature and has offered her the opportunity to design and make sculpture of every scale for both public spaces and private homes. She particularly enjoys site specific projects and draws inspiration from the people and environment connected to the place where sculpture will be placed. Kate says “you have to look sideways at a subject, see it with fresh eyes to bring originality and life into a sculpture, I try to create a dialogue between myself as the artist, the material and the place.” Kate has taken this idea further by creating Elysium Memorials where she collaborates with other artists to design and make artworks as unique memorials for the home and garden as an alternative to a headstone. Each one is a reflection of a life in the form of an artwork that can be kept and handed down through a family. The teaching of stone carving and sculpture brings her great pleasure too, helping people to develop their skills and watching the pleasure they gain from working stone. Kate says “I try to adjust my teaching to the student’s needs, it’s incredible what beginners can achieve if guided well. My aim is to offer a warm welcome and clear step by step instruction to suit them”. If you would like to contact Kate about her sculpture please email or ring her for a chat.

Founded by Paul and Aniko Smith, Touchstone Education is a property investment company that exists to inspire people to financial freedom through knowledge. Invest in your dreams… Shape your future. All of our training courses, from an online webinar to a 12 Month Masterclass, have three aspects to them for you. Practical Knowledge First, we don’t just dump information on you… we give you the knowledge you need to take action. All our courses are designed to be immediately enabled, so you can make changes immediately. Some property investments CAN provide a reliable route to financial freedom, but having the information you need isn’t enough. You also need support. You need people to look out for you… people who can show you the holes in the road. When you attend a course with Touchstone, you’ll always leave with the knowledge to take immediate action, and the support to keep you on track. Inspiration We all need inspiration. But why? Inspiration is to inspire; to breathe in; to show that something is possible. To support you in doing something you wouldn’t otherwise do. People talk a lot about motivation, but motivation is an external force to get somebody to do something they don’t want to do. You’ll always come away inspired after attending a course with us at Touchstone Education. Things that were ‘impossible’ will suddenly be achievable. Group Accountability If you want to achieve true financial freedom, you’ll need help along the way. As well as people cheering you on, you’ll need people holding you accountable. You’ll need a group of people who will challenge your mindset, and encourage you to grow as a person. We often quote Dr John Dimartini, who says “the skillset without the mindset will just leave you upset”. If you spent two days and thousands of pounds on a Serviced Accommodation course and then didn’t do anything, you’d be upset. What you get at Touchstone Education is an environment where you’re supported every step of the way. We’ll celebrate your successes. And we’ll push you when you need it. It’s equally important to be pushed when you don’t want to do something, as it is to be patted on the back when something has gone right. Thanks to the Touchstone Team. The property leverage course I attended yesterday was packed with valuable info and insight - my note training skills were definitely tested! Such great content and worth every penny!
