coach house arts

Willow and Wire Sculptor Victoria or Vik as she likes to be called hails from South Somerset; home of ancient kingdoms, fables and roads less travelled, these origins feed into her work, representing elements of the natural world and those who celebrate it. Vik began her creative journey as a theatre designer and maker, using a willow framework for carnivalesque costumes, from here she developed her practice to bring her dynamic sketches to life, creating forms from willow and wire that encapsulate her love of texture and mass. Now her Coach House Studio in the heart of Mid Devon, is her base where she works to commission on a range of projects for large and small gardens, parklands, orchards and public spaces; working with clients to create pieces that sit harmoniously in their environment. Clients include designers, private collectors, companies, charities, councils and housing groups in addition she has created large scale sculptures for The Woodland Trust, The RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Torre Abbey.

Many of our students have experienced failure in multiple educational settings. That is why we do things a little differently.

siddy langley glass

Siddy works in the glorious Devon countryside just outside Cullompton. In 2012, she embarked on the mammoth task of replacing her old workshop and constructing a new eco house and studio. Still a “work in progress”, the house is now almost finished and Siddy has achieved her aim of providing the domestic heating and hot water from the waste heat generated by the glass making process. Siddy Langley's new eco-build nestling into the hillside The new eco house and studio nestling into the hillside Siddy’s inspiration has always come from nature and travel. Her camera is never far away, whether scuba diving in Sinai, dog walking in the woods or quietly sitting by her pond observing the dragonflies emerge. She is often to be found, working on the hot glass, with a photo for reference on the bench beside her. Traditionally, glass blowing has been regarded as a team activity and many glassmakers consider it impossible to work alone. Siddy, however, prefers to work “solo” and has devised ways of working which eliminate the need for a team or even an assistant. This makes for unique pieces of glass work.

tots play okehampton

My name is Sarah and I live in beautiful West Devon with my husband Martyn and our children Joseph and Thea. When Joey was born I had such a brilliant time taking him to all sorts of different classes and watching him flourish, that when I found out about Tots Play I knew it would be perfect for our area, and since Thea has come along we've had lots of fun using all the ideas I share in class at home to keep us busy during lockdown. I love the fact that the programme offers so much variety in every session - where else can you do yoga, massage, sensory play and sign language all in one? As a busy mum I know how important taking your babies to a class in a friendly and relaxed environment is, and Tots Play offers just that. All while helping them learn valuable skills and making memories and friends that last a lifetime. I can't wait to meet you and your little ones at a class soon. Please do get in touch if you need any further information, otherwise I'll see you there! Sarah x

wise goose limited

Wise Goose began, as many ventures do, as a conversation over coffee between Helen Sieroda and a coaching colleague. This was in 2012 after the dramatic breakdown in corporate governance that led to the financial crisis. They were trying to answer the question “In uncertain times, what kind of coaches does the world need?” The question grew into “What would a professional, purposeful, values-led, pro-business and pro-future coach training look like?” And finally – “Why aren’t we stepping up to create it?” After over twenty years building a training institute in Scandinavia, Helen knew a thing or two about developing and delivering training programmes. She had also completed an a Masters in ‘Responsibility in Business Practice’ that challenged traditional ideas about where leadership and responsibility begins and ends and so, from small beginnings Wise Goose was born. Since then, Helen has secured Institute of Leadership and Management approval and Association for Coaching accreditation for the programmes, assembled a world class team, expanded from Devon into London and Scotland and created a range of ‘custom-made’ in-house coaching courses for organisations alongside her work as a coach and coaching supervisor.

hall grove school

In August 1956, my mother and father arrived at Hall Grove with a young family and set about founding a school. It was a brave enterprise, but starting with just six pupils they laid the foundations for what is today one of the leading preparatory schools in the country with 420 boys and girls and a talented teaching and support staff of over 60 men and women. Hall Grove has a very special character. It is a country school that enriches young lives with a wide range of experiences, both in its extensive grounds and on the South Devon coast at our own field study centre. Success can be measured in our academic results, sporting achievements and by our dramatic and musical performances. More importantly, our pupils enjoy their school days and, over time, they develop a deep and lasting attachment to the place that will have helped shape their future lives. My own teaching career started here in 1978. 43 years later I handed over day-to-day responsibility to Neil Tomlin, our exceptional Headmaster. As Principal of the school I remain in very close contact, overseeing key aspects of policy and helping to plan future developments.
