Design Mart at The Baltic

We were delighted to take part in the Design Mart event at the Baltic in Gatehead last month. There were lots of great design pieces to see and buy from some great Northern designers, and the exhibition “Cut It Out” by Noma Bar with his fab dog shaped art making machine! (that was also at the London Design Festival in September).

Here are some pics:

Talk at Design Event, Newcastle

We were delighted to travel up to the wonderful city of Newcastle to take part in a talk 'The Business of Design' on 18th November organised by the lovely people at Design Event . Susan was one of three companies invited to talk about inspirations and developing a design business (the others being Giles Millerand Deadgood Ltd).

We also got to visit the Baltic gallery and see the Millenium Bridge something we've wanted to do for ages.

Thanks to everyone we met in Newcastle for making us feel so welcome.
