Hi there Happy Friday! Welcome to the start of our 4-day Clarity Open Days Festival!

Anybody who has ever joined in will know how fabulous our Open Day gatherings are. Brilliant demos, talented artists,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. What busy shows Paul had on the Craft Store. So glad you liked the Wrap around Heart. Very very useful little design, that! In case you missed it… And so on to the next adventure! What? Where? Who? Why? Well, read on… Here’s the Story, Jackanory… Tomorrow would be our fabulous Open Days in Ditton, near maidstone, but we didn’t think it was a smart idea – given all the restrictions, ‘elf n safety…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Day 4 of our Jackanory Week. So what’s the story, Morning Glory? I looked up the meaning of that expression, which I have heard and used all my life. It simply means asking a flower what their tale is early in the morning. Today’s story is about Linda Williams and a few good friends. If you read this blog often, you will know that Linda and I are firm friends. I often talk about…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. And thanks so very much for watching and supporting the Craftstore TV Show today! Why was I so nervous?! Loved every minute of it. Love working with Alex too. She is such a sweet lady and kind friend. It sure was good to be back in the studio. I had forgotten how much we all bounce off each other. Just in case you missed the action, this is what we were playing with! Available…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Huge excitement here at Clarity! It’s nearly 6 o’clock, which means it’s nearly time for our once a month not to be missed One Day Special Show on The Craft Store (was HOCHANDA). Paul’s driving the creative bus this month – he’s been gearing up for this one all day! I think Linda Williams – she who designs these immaculate trifold cards – has totally nailed this third and latest set of It’s a…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Those of you who join me in the SHAC Shack will recognise our feathered friends on TV tomorrow! I am launching a smashing collection of beautiful birds, all illustrated by our friend, Mel Turner. You will recognise them all, except perhaps the moorhens? And I don’t think we’ve done the geese in the SHAC either yet. Although they are pretty fabulous. I remember us doing an arty canvas at a summer retreat once. Those…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The sun is streaming in through the window, the shoots are just starting to green on the trees, and spring is in the air – at last! Is it time to pull out our short-sleeved tops and shorts yet? Not quite!! But we can certainly get in the warm weather mood with these superb butterflies (with their cut-to-fit masks) illustrated by Cherry Green. You may recall that I talked about them in the SHAC…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. You know Linda Williams, don’t you? The super talented Welsh Parchment artist? My best friend too, as it happens. To know her is to love her. And I certainly do love her. Quite aside from being a uniquely creative individual, and having a wonderful art style of her own, she really is a fabulous woman. And this evening we are very proud to be launching a brand new Groovi collection of her art. Read…
Happy Easter Sunday! I hope the sun is shining where you are, and that you are enjoying this Easter weekend? I have been going through today’s TV demos one more time this morning, to make sure I have everything to hand when it kicks off at 2pm. I hope you can join me on The Craft Store (Hochanda) for a couple of hours between 2 and 4 pm. I shall be taking you on a whistle stop tour of London,…
