helen young school of dancing

Starting in 1959, Helen Young School of Dancing is a long established dance school in Paisley. Since 1987 principal Christine O’Donnell has continued to develop the dance school and maintain an exceptionally high standard of teaching to all pupils. Following Christine’s retirement in June 2015, Helen Young School of Dancing will continue in Paisley. This will continue with new principals Claire Irwin and Julie McFall, assisted by Jane McKenzie all of whom are fully qualified dance teachers and former pupils of Helen Young School of Dancing. Claire Irwin Julie McFall I started my journey at Helen Young School of Dancing in 1990, under former Principal Christine O'Donnell. Throuhgout my time at the dance school I have participated in various B.A.T.D. examinations and annual dance displays. I participated in B.A.T.D. amateur medal tests and gained my first professional teaching qualification in 2006. I began to assist at weekly dance classes and continue to increase my own teaching skills and qualifications. I have also participated in Latin American, Ballroom Dance, Line Dance and Rock 'N' Roll B.A.T.D. amateur medal tests and also in various dance competitions around the country in these branches of dance. Qualifications include: Associate B.A.T.D. Majorette Associate B.A.T.D. Modern Dance Associate B.A.T.D. Stage Associate B.A.T.D. Ballet Fellow B.A.T.D Freestyle Fellow B.A.T.D Traditional Step Dancing Dance continues to be a great passion of mine and I am delighted that I am now joint principal and able to pass this on to our very own Helen Young pupils. Claire x I began my time at Helen Young School of Dancing in 1991 and over the years have received training in a number of branches of dance. In 2006, my time at the dance school changed in that I began to gain professional teaching qualifications and help out with younger children's classes. After the years of teaching I received, to a very high standard at Helen Young, it has been very rewarding to pass on the knowledge and skills which I have learned to other pupils. Being able to see children and young people grow in confidence and ability is something which I particularly enjoy in teaching dancing. As well as pupils progressing and improving throughout their time at dancing, their enjoyment during time spent there is most important to me and I believe ensures that they reach their full potential. Following Miss O'Donnell's retirement in June 2015, both Claire and I are extremely grateful that we are able to continue with the Helen Young School of Dancing. The dance school has been a huge part of both our lives, both in the high standard of dance training we received and in the lifelong friends we have made there. I look forward to continuing this for all our pupils current and new.

sew silly lily

I’m Sharon. I've been sewing and making stuff for as long as I can remember and went on to study Embroidered Textile design at Glasgow School of Art, but my interest in textiles goes way beyond stitch and I have a range of textiley skills which I bring to my work.  I always wanted to learn to crochet when I was wee but with no-one to teach me it took until 2011 when I decided I was just going to have to teach myself! I was too impatient to take it step by step so jumped straight in at the deep end and just had a go at all the things I really wanted to learn to make - flowers, fruit, vegetables, animals, Amigurumi; regardless of whether the pattern said they were for beginner, intermediate or expert! Within a month or 2 I was doing some simple designing and began selling crocheted goodies and patterns through my Etsy shop. I'm totally hooked! Making up for lost time I literally haven't put my crochet hook down as I continue to fine tune, develop skills and discover even more. My approach to teaching is pretty similar. Learning a new craft is all about repitition but that doesn't mean you have to make things just for the sake of it, or because someone says it's suitable for a beginner. I would encourage anyone thinking about taking up crochet or looking to develop their skills to choose things to make that appeal to you, why not challenge yourself and I'll do my best to help and encourage you along the way. I firmly believe that if you love what you're making, even if it's a little beyond your skill level, you're more likely to enjoy, learn and be inspired by the process. And the results are all the more rewarding, even if they're not always perfect. But if you prefer to build your skills from the basics up I do suggest what skill level classes are suitable for and how tricky they are on the fiddly diddly scale! Everything we make during a CAL is designed by me and patterns are written using US crochet terms. You can create the most amazing things with the most basic of stitches and that's what I try to highlight as a designer, but I don't always do things the easiest way; where necessary I prefer to show you slightly more advanced techniques and share tips that I think will help you achieve a better and neater finish to your projects; things I wish someone had been able to show me when I was learning.  Crochet-Alongs are held online via Zoom with patterns and access being sent the evening before. On the day I have an additional camera to give guests close up hand views as we're working. A Sew Silly Lily Crochet-Along is an amazing opportunity for me to share my passion for crochet and hopefully inspire you to find out more about this beautiful and versatile craft. And I'm always available to help beyond classes.  Sx

simply zen

Simply Zen began as a small project for us, driven by a passion of healing and spirituality which is at the heart of our business. Under a previous alias, we began our journey through retailing crystals online. This soon became more than a project and after a number of successful months building as a small business, we decided to re-brand and open shop, quite literally, under the suitability fitting name, Simply Zen. Today, the term 'zen' is often used to describe a sense of peace and relaxation. We believe that each individual possesses their own 'zen', unique to their life and experiences. So, whether you are a customer purchasing a crystal, or you are booked in for a Reiki healing session... we ultimately believe that your presence at Simply Zen is a step on your journey to find your own zen.

icbp

Over the years many people have been involved with and assisted ICBP, so this change has been a difficult decision and it is important for us not to lose the ethics and work that has been given so freely. We are taking this step in order to consolidate our knowledge and expertise, reduce our workload and costs and look forwards to slightly different and exciting conservation tasks ahead. Like many businesses the toll of the last two years has been huge, and we feel we must take steps to ensure the future of our charity and its work. This is by no means the end of ICBP, and we are excited to share our next steps with all our supporters. However, these steps will be as a private charitable conservation facility and no longer as a public collection.
