Make a Masterpiece

make a masterpiece

Woodley

Deborah grew up on a Lincolnshire farm surrounded by inspirational people and places. Training originally at Leeds Metropolitan University and Berkshire School of Art and Design, she has worked extensively as a Graphic Designer and Illustrator. Her clients have included RHS, National Trust, Natural History Museum, Chatsworth House and Dunoon Mugs. Whilst developing a range of paint-by-numbers kits, an interest in making art accessible to those without specific training grew. This led to the creation of ‘Make a Masterpiece’, translating beautiful landscapes and wildlife designs into easy to achieve guided painting and craft events for adults and children. She currently lives and works in Reading as an Artist in Residence at a local school specialising in murals and running Art Clubs.

Scottish Cut Flowers

It’s our vision to help our customers reduce their environmental footprint giving them the choice to buy home-grown flowers over imported foreign flowers. This small decision will have a big impact on the reduction of carbon emissions from unhealthy production techniques and transport fumes. We strive to continually reduce our environmental footprint by choosing recyclable or compostable packaging, streamlining deliveries, avoiding synthetic chemicals like the plague and whenever possible sourcing product from within Britain, Scotland ideally. Farming counterintuitively can be detrimental to the land, I’m talking about the huge hedge-less fields, large machinery and single crop type of farming you see everywhere. At SCF we aim to be the opposite of that, we have 50+ different varieties of flowers for the wildlife to feed and live from, we use minimum till methods to protect the important worm population, we use compost to add fertility, and beneficial insects rather than synthetic chemicals to control pests and weed suppression material to negate the need for weed killer. We feel it is our duty as custodians of the land to help in the fight to save the bees, this year we will be undertaking a bee keeping course and hope to establish our hives by mid-summer. With such an abundance of flowers and surrounding fields, we should be able to provide a sanctuary for at least a couple of hives which will increase the pollination of those surrounding food crops. We are buzzing!

The Tongole Foundation

Goudhurst

The Tongole Foundation is a UK registered charity aiding families in Malawi. We work specifically with local communities surrounding the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. Many people in the region, just like the rest of the country, live in extreme poverty – on less than a dollar a day. We focus our work on the areas of Education & Conservation in an effort to improve the standards of living for as many people as possible. Despite being a young charity we have witnessed some remarkable outcomes in the communities we support. Our work demonstrates that the communities’ involvement is essential and what is considered small in the UK, in terms of financial support, goes a very long way in making a positive change and difference to the lives of children and local communities in Malawi.

Dandelion at Lauriston Agroecology Farm

dandelion at lauriston agroecology farm

Our vision is for a large scale urban food growing project which is nature rich, and which will benefit primarily the communities that live in the local area but also the wider city into the future. We aim to address some of the issues around access to local, affordable fresh produce, environmental degradation and lack of opportunities for people in cities to gain experience in food production resulting in a greater understanding of the wider food system. This land and proposed project has the potential to deliver many benefits including increased access to affordable locally grown food, increased biodiversity and enrichment of local wildlife habitats, carbon capture, multiple avenues for training and education around food growing and biodiversity and for celebration and coming together through community activities and events.

Powdermills Pottery

Devon

Powdermills Pottery is housed in granite buildings that were once part of a nineteenth century gunpowder factory. It is found in the very centre of Dartmoor National Park in Devon and is part of the Duchy of Cornwall estate. Powdermills is the home and workplace of potter, Joss Hibbs: her range of pottery is sold in The Shop. Cream teas are served in the courtyard in the Summer season, and Throwing Courses are run year-round. The old workshop has been rejuvenated by local charity Friends of the Dartmoor Hill Pony and now houses the Dartmoor Hill Pony Exhibition, explaining the history and importance of the 'wild' ponies on Dartmoor. If you would like to see how Joss makes pots from materials found on Dartmoor using an 'anagama' kiln, please view the short film found on The Pottery page of this website. Joss at Powdermills Facebook page gives you an as-it-happens insight into current activities at the pottery (you can also find Joss Pottery on Twitter or Instagram). A visit to Powdermills offers a glimpse of all the things Dartmoor has to offer: wild landscape and wildlife (especially birdlife); history and nearby walks to prehistoric sites; local food and time to relax. We look forward to welcoming you here.

Galloway Flowers

​Dumfries & Galloway

Have you ever picked up a bouquet of flowers, held it close & taken a deep breath - anticipating the delicious perfume? And been disappointed to discover - well, there isn't a perfume! If so, you're not alone. So many of the flowers available today in the UK have been bred for other qualities - for extra long stems, new colour choices, or year round availability. Or perhaps so they'll withstand lengthy journeys from overseas - as nearly 90% of the £2 billion a year of cut flowers sold in the UK are supplied from overseas, many need to. But along the way, other qualities, such as exquisite natural fragrance & the variety of flowers available, are often lost. Well, at Galloway Flowers, we love flowers for their beauty, their textures and yes, their natural fragrance too. We believe all add to the sensory pleasure you should feel when you see, touch & of course sniff your flowers. And frankly, although pretty, we're rather bored of those samey flowers from the supermarket there all year round. There are so many more gorgeous blooms to choose from! Just as top Chefs have embraced the 'Field-to-Fork' concept, we believe it's time to embrace 'Field-to-Vase'. Our beautiful locally grown flowers are freshly cut to order, offer choice & varieties that change with the seasons & are grown without harsh chemicals. When you choose our flowers, you'll enhance your personal environment, support local wildlife & enjoy fresh, quality flowers. And of course, buying flowers & foliage when in season means you enjoy them at their best quality, best fragrance & best value.
