d and j watson ~ the glass barn studio

We are Dawn & Jan Watson and we have been running our stained glass studio since 1985 and we are still very much inspired by this fantastic medium. In August 2017 we moved our studio to Kirkharle Courtyard, surrounded by the stunning Northumbrian countryside.. View of CoquetdaleOur stained glass work includes commissions for private homes, places of worship, commercial and public buildings. Much of our work is inspired by nature, the elements and the picturesque countryside that surrounds us.Etched Feathers Our lives have been steeped in creativity from childhood as both of us come from creative families with arts and craft activities being very much a part of everyday life; we just could not imagine life any other way. We have a love of glass, the colours, the textures & the effects light can create and we never tire of experimenting with ideas and techniques; that is why we do what we do. We have been passing on our skills and knowledge to students for over a decade. We find it such a pleasure to see their skills progress and become fuelled with the same enthusiasm and creativity that has filled our lives for so many years.

hillfoots tales

Sharing the magicHillfoots Tales is a fledgling Community Interest Company (CIC), based in Clackmannanshire, which is connecting people and place through the magic of storytelling. “We had a wonderful evening and every family I spoke to commented on how much they had enjoyed the event. The stories kept everyone enthralled throughout. The use of puppets and soft toys captured the attention of our younger listeners and the local tale was enjoyed by all (with many commenting that they had not heard it before). Thank you for supporting our story and supper event. Your exciting stories were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The evening was made even more magical thanks to your input!” Headteacher, Fishcross Primary “In the summer of 2019, Jo led a workshop for Primary 7 pupils based on the Ochil Fairy Tales. The children took part in a variety of activities: painting scenes on stones, reciting poetry, listening to the stories being told and exploring the nature that is referred to in the tales. The children were fascinated to learn about their local folklore and asked lots of questions. It was a valuable experience for them to hear stories spoken and led them to explore storytelling techniques themselves.”

märta sternäng yoga

Certified Vinyasa & Hatha yoga teacher living in south west Cornwall I am a Swedish, ocean loving, flow sequencing and playlist making yogini. Before moving to Cornwall in 2021, I lived on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, teaching daily yoga classes whilst running a surf school and caring for stray animals. I am passionate about our planet and hold a Master's degree in trans-disciplinary sustainability.   I started traveling the world and practicing yoga around the same time in my life, roughly 13 years ago. My yoga practice became a way for me to turn into myself in the midst of change. Whenever I came to a new country I would find a yoga class to join or roll out my mat in nature to practice. In a beautiful way, yoga became an essential part of both my travels and me as a person, and helped me to stay connected to myself and my own truth while being on the move and meeting new faces and places.  I trained to become a yoga teacher in 2018 both to learn more and deepen my own practice, and because I was truly craving to share this practice that I so deeply believe in. I believe in the benefits of yoga for all, regardless of how our personal practices look. I believe it has the power to help us become better versions of ourselves and better humans, and to make us healthier and happier inside and out. I believe that yoga is a practice of integration.   Since I took my first yoga class in 2010 I have always been drawn to dynamic, fiery and fast paced Vinyasa classes. I love arriving completely into my body and leaving the head to move, to breathe, to sweat – to just BE. The power of a fiery Vinyasa practice is the irresistible pull towards surrender, to the moving meditation where nothing else exists.   I still love fast and dynamic Vinyasa classes but since I completed my teacher training and began exploring traditional Hatha with my teachers in India I have been drawn to slower, more conscious movement. In my teaching I love to invite my students to stop and feel, to explore and to engage more deeply with sensations as a way to learn to listen to the intelligent language of our bodies.

Originally from North Devon, I have lived and worked in various countries, particularly the Middle East and Mediterranean, and have been both influenced and inspired by the different cultures and architecture from my travels.  This combined with my keen interest in the environment, nature and the landscape, has provided me with the possibility of creating unique and individual pieces, whilst helping to preserve the natural beauty that surrounds us.   In 2003 I wanted these bright and cheerful mosaics to  withstand all weather conditions so through experimentation I developed this process.  My mosaic mirrors, panels and lamps and balls are designed for both indoor and all year garden display.   They can be used as wall panels – a feature among climbing plants, placed in a gloomy corner, floated on ponds and lakes, hung from trees or filled with solar lights all bringing a splash of colour to our dormant winter landscapes or creating a hint of “The Secret Garden’ beyond. I run a number of different courses and workshops every month to teach this uplifting and cheerful skill whether just as a day out with friends, learning a new hobby or wanting to  improve your skill.  Please contact me for more information. 

oak and smoke tannery

Oak and Smoke Tannery is dedicated to Natural Tanning and Traditional Leatherwork. Oak and Smoke Tannery is made up of Jane Robertson and Jessie Watson Brown. We are two individuals with a passion for the wildness in nature and the skills that enable us to live closely to the earth. Through this journey… we discovered tanning! The tanning processes we practise use only natural ingredients – locally harvested tree barks such as Oak and Willow, oils and Smoke. We tan and sell leather, rawhide and unique leather handcrafts. The Heritage Crafts association has categorised tanning as ‘critically endangered’ as a craft because there are so few people practising it and even less teaching it. We intend to demystify the art of tanning by teaching simple methods, with simple tools. This is how we were taught and how we still practise. We learned tanning in Washington State in America and more recently from traditional tanners in Scandinavia.  We love the discovery of learning how different skins and processes work, and seeing the alchemical change that they go through during the tanning process. When we first returned from America lots of people were asking us to teach them tanning so we set up our first hide camp. The first year was small with a group of friends, and it was a booming success. Since then its grown and grown every year and now we run numerous camps every year, as well as guest teaching on other courses and offering individual tuition. All this as well as of course tanning leather ourselves on Dartmoor and in Mid Wales. We would love to see tanning become normal in peoples homes, as it once would have been. Most of the UK's domestic animal skins get exported to other countries or tanned in chemically intensive commercial tanneries, and most wild animal skins are wasted - its heart breaking! We have very high standards when it comes to ethics and the environment [https://www.oakandsmoketannery.co.uk/ethics]. All our skins are by-products of farming and hunting, otherwise discarded.

tanya maidment from greenlifeorganics

I'm a Mum, business owner, environmentalist, singer, truth seeker, writer and essential oil lover! I love connecting with like minded people and I am so pleased that you are here! My passion is educating about the power of plant medicine and empowering families around the world to live happier, healthier and more sustainable lives, as well as achieving financial and time freedom. Let me tell you where it all started! I have always had a fascination for our environment. Fossils and nature intrigued me and I went on to study geology at university. For many years I worked as an exploration geologist then a hydro-geologist. I learnt many things, including how delicate and fragile our environment is, and how important it is that we respect it. It made me think about where our drinking water comes from, where it goes to and how vulnerable our water supplies are to pollution. I discovered that pollutants from everyday household rubbish can easily (and quickly) end up in our drinking water, and many of these pollutants are readily bought off the shelf in our local supermarkets. It made me really start thinking about what and how much I was throwing away. Then I became a mother! After the birth of my son, I became even more interested in how our environment, and the products that we use, could affect our health. I discovered that we are surrounded by an increasing range of toxins, carcinogens, and irritants in common use around the home, garden and workplace. Products we eat, breathed or put on our skin every day! I was horrified and decided that something had to change. So I started looking for solutions and GreenLifeOrganics began. I believe that our health and our environment are interlinked in ways that we will never fully understand, but if we strive to improve our environment, then there is a good chance that our health will benefit. And if we all make small changes towards leading a healthier and more sustainable life, then there is a good chance that our environment will benefit.
