Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just want to shine a light on our SHAC, our wonderful Safe Happy and Creative group. It started on the first day of Lockdown in 2020, and it’s been going ever since. In the beginning when we didn’t know what was going on in the world, we stuck together every single day, and there were over 500 of us; nowadays there are still 200 loyal and lovely Shackers. We meet twice a week, Mondays…
Hi there! thanks for popping in. After a busy day of Lino Cut Stamping shows, we are waiting patiently until 8 pm to launch our fabulous little Gnome collection! And of course also available as Groovi plates… You may remember Be Güd Do Güd and Feel Güd from our doodles in the SHAC? And our crackers and colouring postcards too… Well, these little fellas and the billboards are a must have!! Wait till you see how cool they are! I‘m…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. What’s coming up in Clarity world then? Well, let me tell you we’ve got nothing but loveliness planned for the whole weekend – starting tomorrow! Mind you, Paul’s already been busy today with our other company Pergamano, on the new Create & Craft TV channel. If you managed to watch, you will have seen those beautiful snowflake grids. Aren’t they special? I remember when Tina designed them and showed us how gridwork works. Paul…
Hi everyone, Paul here. Well it looks as if it is going to be a scorcher of a day down here in Kent, so I thought I would get in early and tell you all about Saturdays TV show with Tina Cox. For those of you who attended our recent Open Days in Ditton, you will have had the opportunity to watch Tina work her magic! For those of you who didn’t, then don’t worry you can see Tina on…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I’ve said this before, and I shall say it again: I consider our 3-way overlay stamps to be the best stamping design idea we’ve had in many years. I really do. And now I’m into Lino-cutting, and thereby have gone further down the road of printing and letterpress printing, I appreciate them even more! So I was pretty surprised to see we are retiring a few of them, and have included a selection of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. We’re making a start on a little factory outlet/shop and workshop space here at Clarity Towers. It will be brilliant to finally do what we set out to do when we took on this huge building prior to the COVID lockdown. Over 2 years later, and we’re only now getting to grips with a key reason we relocated in the first place!! Once again, we are turning our attention to education, education, education. If…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Beautiful sunny days here in the South east of England. I’m still basking in the afterglow of the Clarity Open Days; it was such a tonic to be back in the same room with like-minded friends, fellow Clarity Designers and just a bunch of good people. Absoutely brilliant actually. But it takes me a little longer to recover than it used to, so please forgive the bloggy delay! And this evening is the last…
Hi everyone, Paul here. I hope you are all well and enjoyed the Jubilee Celebrations. I’m currently up at the Create and Craft studios getting ready to launch a brand new One Day Special at 6pm this evening. Are you ready to continue your journey on the Groovi bus and enter to the world of lace/grid work? Then I hope you can join me this evening on the new Create and Craft at 6pm & 9pm where I will be…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Is it too soon to make a start on our Christmas cards? I always seem to run out of time, mostly because I always leave it too late. But that‘s because I always refuse to start Christmas in June!! Now somewhere in there, there IS a solution! Either I get cracking now, and build up a tidy stash for December, or I do what I always do. Well, you know what they say.. if…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. How was your Jubilee Day off? We went to a brilliant, loud, crazy and fun Jubilation Festival at Brockwell Park near Brixton yesterday – Madness and Squeeze, to name just a couple! But today it was time to knuckle down and finish prepping for Sunday’s TV show 3-5pm, Create & Craft. All done. AND one Stamp project for this month’s Clarity Craft Club too. I must say, this month’s offering is superb. If you’re…
