Meet the team.... well, the cartoon character versions!
The Boss!
Angela is the Boss.  She comes up with the vision and ideas. These are based on her first hand experience of being a designer with her own brand collections of jewellery, candles and home accessories.  Angela spends much of her time training, coaching and mentoring a wide range of people across the UK and further afield who want to start or grow a craft business and sell their work.  After 30 years of working in the field of People Development, she still gets a buzz from it.  She is a pretty cool classy lady and the mother of Fun.  Angela is a lover of all things beautiful, stylish, glamorous and sophisticated.

Meow.... my name is Bobsy
People call me a cat.... but the Boss tells me that I am VERY IMPORTANT at the Jewellery & Crafts Academy...because I am so cute and I keep everyone stress free (as long as I get a few simple things otherwise I will meow non stop, do naughty things and drive everyone crazy, like getting under people's feet and accidentally tripping them up..... whoooops!)

I am absolutely no trouble at all... as long as I get:
  • fed 4 times a day
  • have regular drinks of fresh distilled bottled water and chilled cats milk that has been cooled to approximately 2 degrees in a refrigerator
  • receive 3 portions of soft scrambled eggs approximately 96g per portion per week and 4 portions, approximately 123g of poached fresh Scottish salmon from Loch Lomand each week.  Dave has to personally catch the fish and cook it on site, serving it in my bone china bowl
  • my bedding has to be washed and steam pressed once a day
  • my selection of diamond, sapphire, ruby, emerald, tanzanite and pearl collars must be polished by Dave once each day and set out in front of me so I can admire before falling asleep
  • love and pampering on demand
You see.... I am no trouble at all.... once I get these simple things in life.  Meow. xx
