Hello Again A few weeks back I went down to the Lamproom Theatre, Barnsley to meet the cast for the 2017 pantomime - Sleeping Beauty. We needed to do the photo shoot for the poster and to get a set of photos for other publicity opportunities. It was a fun day ! So here it is, the poster for this year.

Hello everyone Its been a while since I shared with you all photos of some of the new costumes I've been making - here are a couple of new Edwardian evening gowns I made last week for shows this Autumn. Ian

Here are a couple of images of the new costumes that have just been made for next week’s production of ‘ Kiss Me Kate ‘. Making the Shakespearian costumes has been a creative challenge – I’ve really enjoyed it this last couple of weeks getting artistic with a look completely different to the norm. Ian

Hello Everyone As busy as the season is this year I've decided to go to the NODA Conference in Bridlington and take my new flyers with my (so watch out you'll all be walking away with one!) I'm heading to Bridlington on the Thursday and having a day of rest over there before the weekend starts. I'm going to the diner on the Friday night – then it's an early start on the Saturday morning to set up the my Trader's Stand to be ready for when the conference opens. I'll be there all morning and well into the afternoon but will have to leave after the AGM to travel down to Kettering to collect Thoroughly Modern Millie that finishes its run that night. I'll be travelling back to Bridlington (from home) on Sunday morning to be there for when the conference re-convenes, to listen to the speaker before taking down the Stand and heading home. It would be great to see you all if you're there for the weekend – please come over and say hello! I hope to see you. Kind regards Ian

Hello Everyone There have been a couple of changes recently that have made my existing flyers obsolete. Together with my Artistic Consultant (my very good friend Alec Gladok) we have looked at creating a new, fresh, clean image for the business - whilst still retaining elements of the original artwork associated with the business. The major result is a new flyer. We have then replicated the new format images through the facebook page Cover and Profile pictures. I hope you like the changes? Kind regards Ian

Hello Everyone I hope this update finds you all well. As some of you will know already, I have moved out of my house in Elland and for the business have taken on an additional unit for the workshop. This is now the official address for any business correspondence. The address is Unit 10a Calderdale Business Park, Club Lane, Halifax HX2 8DB The unit, unfortunately, does not have a telephone so the number to use to speak to me is 07811196255 – all I would ask is that you only use this number in business working hours, Thank you Kind regards Ian
