Got 'em by the Googles!

A Trip to the Google Digital Garage event at North Walsham on 26th October 2018

Fully enjoyed the trip out to North Walsham (North Walsham Community Centre, New Rd, North Walsham NR28 9DE) to meet the Google Digital Garage Team. What a great day with a fabulous itinerary and so grateful that Google are visiting Market Towns where the sessions are needed most. Being a strong advocate of local technological service provision and training for web technologies, our conversations with the Google representative suggested they would be interested in doing a Case Study.

(Check out Maria's PR page on the website with Phillip Hammond, MP visiting Adande Refrigeration after a letter Maria wrote to talk about the future prospects for business success and confidence in the region). This comes after John Humphries' BBC Panorama Is There Hope ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05p35hh ) painting a gloomy picture of the outlook for the town. (More on that in another post!)

But seriously folks, access and provision of tuition for coding skills and online technologies here in North Suffolk is very difficult to access at a higher level without travelling way across the county to Ipswich - and it's so much more important to invest the training in rural areas, for all the right reasons too.

Mid afternoon, there was a surprise visit by the MP Norman Lamb and it was heartening and useful to be introduced directly and chat to realise that the matter is being given some thought and support in the region.

And, forget the man from Del Monte, or Mr Kipling, the non-gender Google makes exceedingly good cakes!

Here's the itinerary from the day - very valuable:

  • Build a Digital Marketing Plan
  • Social Media Strategy
  • Get Your Business Visible on Google
  • An Introduction to Digital Advertising
  • Know Your Business with Data

So great presentations, resources, tips and tricks and just a really lovely day out too! Thank you Google!

It's all seaside, ships and eventual sun for everyone at Another Angle Studio, as on Saturday the 11th we attended the Maritime Heritage Fair to celebrate the Excelsior's centenary! There we were able to sell prints, promote our arts and craft classes, and even made a few new friends along the way. The day was jam packed with mini adventures exploring the Excelsior and challenging the inevitable weather. All in which will be featured in this issue. Below are pictures and descriptions of our time at the Lowestoft Heritage Open Day event.

Coming up this September, we at Another Angle Studio are happy to announce our participation with Heritage Open Days , between the 10th to the 19th of September. Our studio and gallery will be open featuring our familiar exhibitors: Miriam King, Tim Fair (Oteo) together with our private collection of the works by the marvellous Suffolk artist John Reay (with two new acquisitions - South Beach and Punch and Judy). We will also have a fabulous new artist Gary Hogben (more on his work in our forthcoming blog post). As part of Heritage Open Days, we will be joining with the Excelsior Trust for the Lowestoft Maritime Heritage Event on Heritage Quay, Lowestoft and the Herring and Ale Fayre at the Oddfellows Arms in Lowestoft . The Excelsior Trust will be hosting the Maritime Heritage Fair on Saturday 11th Sept as part of their noble charitable advent to celebrate their long and fascinating history, as well as their centenary! The day will include being able to explore the Excelsior's entire deck from top to bottom, with music, food stalls, other independent creators and shops all celebrating one hundred years since the ships creation.

On Tuesday September 1st, we at Another Angle Studio hosted our very first crafting fair at the high street in Lowestoft town. Hosting goodies such as face masks, custom handmade dolls, accessories, crafting kits, bags, and more. Originally we had planned to set up the week before, but due to severe weather complications, we unfortunately had to reschedule. However, we had a splendid time and would like to thank everyone who came to visit us or made a purchase at the stall. It goes a long way to help us out! With this in mind, bearing the success of the market, we have decided to set up our very own crafting stall. Other than selling our own made products, our plan for this is to receive feedback from customers on what we do right, what we can improve on, and forums for if you would like to join our upcoming crafting clubs on weekday evenings. (Limited spaces due to COVID six people per-group rules). If you are passing through or in the area, feel free to come and say hello and take a look at our stock. We look forward to seeing you there!

We had a super special person to celebrate last weekend - gaining a First in Law at Kings College London! So, we presented her with our one-of-a-kind graduation keepsake. Excited with squeals of delight this handmade doll is a now a treasured possession and a reminder of their effort and our pride in their achievement. Huge congratulations to Katie Barton on her massive success throughout this troubling year! (A great collective special family gift; handmade with personalisation for thoughtful giving). WE ARE TAKING ORDERS - BESPOKE – Contact us with details for a discussion and quotation.
