Hi there Went for a walk up on the forest early this morning, before the sun burns through. No cars, no planes, no humans, just lots of birds – bliss. Oh. And some Exmoor ponies. They bring them onto the Ashdown Forest for vegetation control, because they help to keep the bracken and scrub down by grazing. This saves mechanical intervention. Beautiful animals! The main point of this tale – or should I say the mane point of this tail…
Hi there Just thought I’d pop in to say hi and bye! Grace and I are off to Paris today, for a little break. Cowboy boots are packed – Beyoncé here we come!! Dave offered to hold the fort and feed the cats – trés bien. We’re letting the train take the strain…Eurostar from London to Paris in just over 2 hours. The train tickets cost a pretty penny, but flying is a hassle at either end, and driving would…

Hi friends, Many of you will already have received happy mail, that our Club Members Half price Summer Sale has been brought forward into June. Well, we nudged it forward by a couple of days again, to this side of the weekend! We just thought it would make more sense to give you the weekend, to peruse and choose what you may fancy. This opportunity only rolls around twice a year, so always very popular. And let’s be honest –…
Hi Here at Clarity, we‘re getting set for what promises to be a super busy TV day on Hobbymaker tomorrow! Why? Because the brand new A4 plate that Paul is showcasing really REALLY packs a punch! Introducing the Square Floral Framers A4 Groovi Plate What a design plate! Or should I say a plate full of designs?! At first glance, you think you’re looking at 6 Baby plates, don’t you? But no. All 6 of these fabulous frames are on…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just in case you missed the 2pm Clarity TV today…. Here’s something new that might really help you with your card-making and artwork. You know when you want to just grab some me-time, but you have neither the time nor the headspace to “start from scratch”?

Hi there Last week, at the end of the Sunday workshop, I found a tiny envelope on my desk in the hall as we were clearing up. It was an exquisite little thank you card, made by dear Zara Axton. We have been friends for years, and she is a staunch supporter of the SHAC and all things Clarity. I decided to shine a little light on her little card. It is just so lovely. I am sure she won’t…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. If you were at the Open Days last weekend, you will have watched Paul playing in the corner!! Hahahaha. Well actually, he was demonstrating loads of tricks and ideas using our latest product range: Hot Foil Kits. This Hot Foiling process has been around for a while, but here at Clarity we have put our own spin on it – and you were certainly impressed with what Paul showed you! So tomorrow, at 10am…
Hi there Just wanted to tell you about a little awakening I have had. So you know we have two beautiful Viking cats, Erik and Ragnar. They came to us from oop north during lockdown. Two little Viking orphans, entrusted to us by our friends Gina and Mark. They were so tiny! Well, we’ve been feeding them the standard cat fare from the get go, the supermarket wet food that comes in handy pouches. But they are pretty picky, and…
Hi there Thought I would just pop in to say hi. It’s been a pretty hectic couple of weeks, so I won’t apologise for not blogging. Last week was a bit of a blur, to be frank! Rolled from Hobbymaker on Tuesday straight into Clarity Open Day mode. Grace landed on Wednesday. We picked her up from Heathrow in the evening – and then went over to Maidstone for the next four days. We all stayed in a hotel this…
