Day 2 and again it's very busy in the marquee. Marcus is showing off his skills and producing a finished piece of faux marble to raise awareness of the craft.
The weather is amazing we are very lucky here in Bovey Tracey 🙏

We had a brilliant first day at the Bovey Tracey Craft Festival working along side our fellow skilled practitioners in the marquee. We have met lots of wonderfully curious people visiting the stall asking questions, interested to learn more about the work that we are doing to help ensure that the now endangered heritage crafts of decorative faux marbling and wood graining continue to be passed on to a new generation of skilled decorative artists.

All set up at Bovey Tracey, a bright and breezy morning and plenty of demonstrations already.
Here's to a long weekend ahead!

During the day you will have the opportunity to try out four of our most popular heritage decorative paint techniques, faux marbling, wood graining, malachite stone and crackle glaze.
This introductory course has been specially designed for those who have an interest in learning how these ancient crafts are created and get hands on experience mixing and applying specialist paints and glazes.

We had a fantastic time with our brilliant students in the glorious summer sunshine, at the wonderful National Trust, Heritage and Rural Skills Centre, Swindon.
We took a deep dive into traditional heritage decorative paint techniques and surface preparation on our unique, CPD accredited, fundamentals course.
We then embraced our inner crafting nature and took a journey into the world of stencilling and gold leaf application.
I would like to say a big thank you to all those who attended the two days for making it such a memorable and fulfilling time.

Learning at Work Week 18th - 24th May 2026

Passing Down Heritage Crafts & Upskilling for the Future! 🛠️🎓

As we celebrate Learning at Work Week 2026 under the theme "Many Ways to Learn," I've been reflecting on how education takes many forms. I'm passionate about passing down endangered heritage crafts to the next and future generations by imparting my professional expertise and knowledge through numerous CPD accredited workshops and courses.

It is incredibly rewarding to spend time teaching my son (pictured above) these traditional and ancient techniques—proving that learning by doing is just as vital and valuable as structured training!

How are you and your team celebrating different ways to learn this week? 👇
