With a busy summer drawing to a close it is time to focus the mind again and focus on my lovely readers. So with the new season in mind I decided to get up and running with a fun competition in collaboration with my latest feature on MYB Textiles. One of the last remaining mills in Ayshire in Scotland, dating back to 1900. MYB still weave traditional lace, however through recent developments and innovations (read on to learn more) they are now bringing the mill into the 21st century to produce fabrics that top designers such as David Collins and exclusive venues, the likes of Soho House are commissioning.

A. G. Sculptures

AG Sculptures is a father/son business but not in the normal way. It is fascinating to learn that the sculpting began in 1988 when at the age of 43 Alan Glasby O.B.E.,G.M. decided to 'have a go' at carving. With no formal training he developed his own style and methods, with each piece displaying its own unique presence and character. His skills didn't go unnoticed and he had some amazing commissions including a half size Golden Eagle for the Royal Auxiliary Air Force for presentation to Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II to mark 50 years as Air Commodore-in-Chief. It wasn't until Alan sadly passed away in 2008 that his Son, Andrew decided to take up the helm.
