There’s a little hidden gem in Burntisland – if you don’t know it’s there you would miss it. Round the back of the station there is a row of studios inhabited by jewellers, painters, crafters etc. This weekend they opened their doors to the public and Milo and I paid them a visit.
Over the weekend I had over 300 people in my studio! Milomade HQ was one of the venues on the creative trail around Kinghorn we like to call Round The Horn. This was our third year and it was a really great weekend!

Kinghorn beach is mostly made up of the standard dark yellow sand, but we do get whole swathes of black sand as well that form intricate patterns on the beach when the tide goes out. At first light or at dusk you get amazing shadows that highlight the undilations and patterns formed by the shifting […]
As you may know I went to the British Craft Trade Fair in Harrogate a few weeks ago as a visitor. I requested an invite from the organisers as I’m intending on taking a stand at next years show in April 2015 and as I’ve never even been to a trade show before I really […]
