Featured in BBC Good Food magazines

Following on from being feature in a number of publications before Christmas we are very excited for our Edward Charcuterie/Cheese Board to be featured in popular BBC Good Food Magazine.

It was an honour to be part of the ‘This months wish List’ feature in the BBC Good Food magazine, February 2022. We were one of eight products featured this month that would ‘add a splash of colour to your kitchen’

It’s a real privilege to know that the products we design are not only popular with you, our customers but also to those people in the industry, the one’s with the influence. To know, when we design and develop these products, that one day they will be in peoples home and featured in magazines is very humbling.

Thank you to all of you, our customers for your support as we have grown over the last few years.

All the best

Mark and Marianne

Reduced shipping cost for propagator.

Dear customer

We have realised that the shipping cost for the propagator was set too high. Although sometimes we subsidies the shipping costs, in the case of the propagator we felt that it was set too high at £8. Therefore we have reduced it to the standard price for most smaller products at £4. This was also because if you wanted to buy more than one it is added on to both. If you have been looking at the propagator you will now be charged the smaller fee.

The propagator is an excellent Christmas present as it comes neatly boxed with all its components snugly wrapped including fixing instructions.

Merry Christmas – Mark Lowe

Coats and Hats

It now feels like winter in starting to approach. Just a few weeks ago we were waring t-shirts, now we are layering up. Coats, Scarves and hats are most definitely needed. Here is our folding Edie coat stand to take care of it. Very stylish and yet practical too. Use at home in your hallway or at work for your businesses waiting area, lobby, office or foyer.

‘we got one for our business as clients walk in and need to stay. It looks so stylish and gives our business the upmarket look’ says Alice.

Enjoy the winter with our Edie Coat stand – by Mark Lowe

Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair online – NOW On

Ongoing through to Friday

We are proud to be part of the Great Northern Contemporary Craft fair online 2020.

In 2019 we enjoyed being part of the GNCCF in October in Manchester. This year will be very different and will be held online and on the earlier dates of July 25th -31st.

They have tried to make the ‘show’ as self contained as possible. The idea being that you can visit the show site and see work that is for sale directly. For us, customers will still be able to order the products to their specification which, is the way most customers purchased products from us in the real life shows. The show has been going for many years and there are lots of regular visitors to the physical event. We hope that lots more will be able to attend in its online form this year.

Thank you for visiting and we look forward to seeing you in the coming years.

We are proud to be part of the Great Northern Contemporary Craft fair online 2020.

Mark Lowe featured in Creative Tourist dot com

 

We are really happy that Mark Lowe is featured in the creative touristcreativetourist.com. This follows on from our connection with Great Northern Events and advertises the Great Northern Contemporary Craft fair.

As featured in previous posts we are going to be part of the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair. Originally this was to be in early October from a venue in Manchester. Due to it having to be cancelled they managed to get a grant from the Crafts Council and were able to put together an online show – 25-31 July 2020. We will, no doubt be posting further promotion for this in the next week or so.

Great Northern Events – Makers Profiles

A few bits of news regarding Great Northern Events and the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair

Last Autumn we were involved in the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair in Manchester. This is run by Great Northern Event who also run a number of other contemporary craft fair as well as a few other events. Unfortunately this year events have been cancelled so, with help from the Crafts Council UK they have come up with a number of new initiatives.

Firstly they have compiled an online – Makers Profile. This covers most of the makers who have been involved in the events over the last few years and acts as a directory with links to the makers website.

The second will be an online market with more details for each maker enabling them to add individual pieces of work. Through links people will be able to buy work from the site. The GNCCF will be live between 25th – 31st of July. More details and promotion to follow.

GNCCFonline will feature the 160 designer-makers who had originally been selected to take part in our 2020 fairs. As ever, they have all been handpicked by a panel of craft experts to ensure the work on sale showcases the best in cutting edge design and beautiful craftsmanship across a wide range of craft disciplines.

For now here is the links to the Makers Profiles and, of course our own profile

Keep safe
