Made by Hand / No 2 The Knife Maker from Made by Hand on Vimeo.

In MADE BY HAND’s second film, we meet writer turned knife maker Joel Bukiewicz of Cut Brooklyn. He talks about the human element of craft, and the potential for a skill to mature into an art. And in sharing his story, he alights on the real meaning of handmade—a movement whose riches are measured in people, not cash.

I have just returned from a four day Forum in Prague which is aimed at putting industry professionals, experts, and suppliers together. This is such a great way to do business! Meeting like minded people who want to work together, means that you can very quickly achieve so much in just a few days… Whatever you need, there it is in front of you. Everyone we met was helpful and enthusiastic about their product, or profession and I came home feeling that I have found so many people that I will definitely enjoy working with.

Attending a forum in Prague, rather than being here in the UK means that you really engage with the members.  The ‘out time’, i.e. networking during coffee breaks and dinner,  means that you get to know those attending, and I am certain that we all prefer to work with people we like.

Prague as a city is delightful, a treasure trove of wonderful architecture with a surprise around every corner. Sitting on a river boat, in the sun looking at a spectacular view must be a good way to work…. Well done DP Events.

17th June saw The Watering Hole on the Barbican, Plymouth reopen after a Fruition refurbishment.

St Austell Brewery recently took over the running of the pub and needed a quick spruce up to ensure it met with their standards for the summer season.
We supplied new tables and sofas for the extensive external seating area, new branding and signage and artwork for the pub interior.
The inside was decorated throughout and the bar stripped down and refinished on site.
 

@ panotne and loverly spot UV folders

We always like to get samples back from our print work, these new folders for LMS Highways popped through the post today, 2 Spot Pantones, including a vibrant PMS 021 ornage, and a nice thick spot UV varnish to the logo really help these standout.

 

We’re not just all about business here at Fruition, a core part of our ethos is to give back into the community. We allow for 10% of our time to be dedicated to local community groups. In the past we’ve arranges festivals (Transition Festival Torquay), provided advice to Non Profit Oraganisation, provided illustrations, designed logos and flyers all for good causes.

For the past couple of years we’ve helped the Rotary Club promote their Pedal Car Grand Prix. When Rotary Club Memebr Graham Gardener relocated to Gainsborough he got in touch to see if he could use our Torquay poster for Gainsborough’s own Grand Prix, and of course we said yes.

If your part of a local charity or non profit and need a little design help then drop us a line.
