Inverness

From our workshop in Inverness, Scotland, we hand make custom and bespoke lamp shades, soft furnishings and interior decor items. We have customers across the world as well as around the corner. We use a range of different fabrics and materials to make our lampshades, cushions, and other interior soft furnishings including Harris Tweed, 100% wool fabrics, cotton, velvet and silk. We can customise our lampshades and soft furnishings in both size and colour to suit our clients’ requirements and to compliment their interior decor. Lucy Wagtail light shades are available in a variety of shapes such as the round drum, tall and round cylinder, oval, square, empire and French drum. All lampshades are available in sizes from 15cm up to huge, oversize lamp shades of up to 1m in diameter. We have now also introduced recyclable lampshade board as an eco-friendly option. Sustainability is important to us and we encourage the re-use and upcycling of lampshade frames, some of which are quite irreplaceable and lovely! We often refurbish lampshade frames that we have sourced ourselves and offer lamp shade refurbishment as a service. We have successfully rescued quite a few lampshades from certain landfill over the years! Contact us directly if you’d like to find out more about refurbishing your lampshade. If you are interested in a custom or bespoke lamp shade or if you don’t find what you’re looking for on our website contact us for a chat.

Maggi and Sarah created two projects to engage teenagers during the summer holidays, encouraging creativity and the development of new skills. The pack included a hard-backed sketchbook with a workbook of suggested art based activities, also Derwent Arts kindly donated some drawing equipment. The second project included a fully illustrated instruction booklet, coordinated fabrics, ribbons, needles and threads to create a decorative length of bunting, which could be customised with applique lettering or imagery. The scope of these projects could reach beyond the original pack and the summer holiday period, inspiring children to consider further individual projects. The quality of the pack and its learning materials encourages young people to work independently and the workbooks encouraged recipients to explore their own personal projects. The packs also contain Crafts Council project ideas to inspire children and teenagers, and support material for those who may wish to embark on the Arts Awards scheme. ‘Recreate Make’ intend to develop an Arts Award offering in the near future. With the help of the West Cumbria Learning Centre, Maggi and Sarah were able to distribute projects to 38 young people across West Cumbria who it was felt would find them beneficial. We gave the packs out during the summer holiday of 2021 to help additional homeschooling ideas for the arts. They were given to children from Wigton to Whitehaven, the majority centred around the Workington area.

JV Consultancy Group

Cheltenham

We are dedicated to helping companies grow by improving their sales performance through group or one to one or group training and mentoring packages. With over 40 years experience, we truly understand the sales process from prospect to sales and can help you to improve your process and results. If you compare sales to running a factory; you know exactly what raw materials you need for your factory (prospects), you would research and buy specific machines (sales tools) and train people to use them (sales techniques). At the end of the production line you are presented with the finished goods, which are all identical and come at a certain rate per hour (sales figures). If this factory had faulty products coming off the line it would be imperative to stop the line, identify the problem and fix it. If the result of your sales process is not up to standard, we need to locate the problem and develop a plan to fix it. The way we achieve success, is by reviewing your business plan and goals, then translate them to your specific business to develop your strategic sales vision and the plan to deliver the changes we agree that will work for your company. The major difference with JV Consultancy is that we will not only suggest what you can change but we actively help you make the changes to improve your profitability.

SkandiHus

London

Our founder, Stine Dulong, quit her corporate lawyer job in 2013 to become a full time potter. For her, clay was a gateway into transformation. Not only did it become her career, and change the structure of her life on the surface, but it fundamentally shifted who she is and how she perceives the world. She had tried yoga and meditation, but it never “clicked” for her. Yet through pottery, she found a way into a slower, more mindful and joyous way of existing. Having experienced such a powerful transformation through working with clay, Stine decided that she had to share this magical material with the world, so she started offering classes at her studio. Little did she know that the demand would be so great that SkandiHus now consists of three studios, a team of 26 and more than 350 happy students every week. Bearing witness to the profound effects working with clay has on almost everyone who walks through the studio doors, is the greatest privilege of Stine’s life. When she isn’t busy teaching and running the business, she makes tableware for the likes of Nigella Lawson, Anna Jones and Tom Kerridge, and her work is in many high-end restaurants, including The Connaught Hotel, The Hand & Flowers and Nobu. When Stine first touched clay in an evening class in 2013, she felt like she had arrived home. Whilst she never intended to become a full-time potter, she decided somewhere along the way to trust the journey and continue to follow her heart no matter what. She is now a firm believer that the world would be a better place if everyone did more of what sets their soul on fire and that when we allow ourselves to follow our dreams, we indirectly give people around us permission to do the same. She often gives talks about following your passion and living a more present, slower and fulfilling life. She has recently signed with Rachel Mills Literary and will be writing a book about pottery and her journey. STINE’S WORK Stine’s work is inspired by a love for Scandinavian design in which beauty is radiated through light colours, the ample use of natural materials, minimalism and functionality. Like many Scandinavian designers before her, Stine believes that quality design should stylish and relevant to the modern human being by providing minimal distraction and maximum aesthetic value. Stine both throws and hand-builds her pieces, using a broad range of techniques to create her finished pieces. She also uses a wide range of clays and materials, but most of her pieces are made from reclaimed studio clay, as she is a firm advocate of minimising waste and our impact on the world. She finds great joy in making something beautiful from something once considered waste. When Stine is not busy making her own designs, and running the business, she teaches classes and events as she feels that she has been given this gift to share it with the world. She is slowly building the clay revolution, one ball of mud at a time.
