Hi there! Thanks for popping in. I was thinking about actually making a few cards for Christmas this year (although thinking and doing aren’t the same thing!) Just so much going on! But at least Mum and Dad should receive a handmade one, eh…. Anyway, I thought about the Bespoke stamps we make, so that you can put your name on the back of your work, and I bet there are plenty of you who didn’t even know we do this….
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. We had a super surprise today. Jayne had set up a lovely Secret Santa for the whole team! See all the snowflake dangles? Well, at the end of each dangle was a little tag, and on each tag was a scratch card thingy. So each person picked a dangle, and then Jayne cut it off and gave you your chosen tag. You scratched to reveal the name of one of your colleagues, and that…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Look who’s here ! Yep, Rosie is down here for a couple of days. We have been working on a huge project for months, and it’s finally coming together now.

Jim and I were happily plodding along on You Tube Tuesdays, and things were…
Hi there Presh! Thanks for popping in. Oh boyo! Linda Williams is in the building! I told you she was the Grand Maester, didn’t I?! And what did I tell you about her book?? Isn’t it brilliant? Just being able to photocopy all the various pattern maps and use them underneath the parchment. There’s nothing this comprehensive anywhere else. here’s a little taster gallery from our other clever teamies, using a selection of the patterns and tools used in the…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Saturday’s blog is something new, right? Well today I want to launch this rather wonderful Pergamano Tool caddy, which our Jim designed. Now I know we have the super duper Pink Pergamano Bag, which holds pretty much everything bar the kitchen sink! Pergamano Tool organizer It’s brilliant for the likes of me, who have to do workshops, TV shows, exhibitions etc. But there was a real need on my desk for somewhere to stand…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, while the Clarity Crew beaver away at work, picking and packing your orders from last week, I am working on new designs for January! Crazy, but necessary.

I use tracing paper, draw, draw and draw…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Yes, I know. You thought I meant that North Korean bloke and his buddy with the bad hair. Well I did! But what’s the point in getting excited or having an opinion about them? Like they give a monkeys what we think! In the words of Nasty Cersie’s Dad from the Game of Thrones, “The lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of sheep” So. Let’s talk about USEFUL TOOLS !! PERGAMANO TOOLS!!! On…

No no no. A porch! Well, I am proud and excited to unveil the finished masterpiece,…
