We decided a little while ago to make something extra with our ceramics, something to make our poetry available more widely. It’s the poetry that appeals to many folk. A little while ago, we took a free appointment with google for advice on the internet and social media – I was wondering how to appear […]
Sometimes, there are such big things happening in life – family illness, bereavement, financial juggling, changing covid regulations, trials and tribulations and ups and downs.. however you want to phrase it all – but the other day it was creating these necklaces that nearly finished me (Michaela) and had me reaching for the job page […]
Chris and I work together on everything seatree – like these clocks – and the website. Chris developed our website from scratch, very impressive, but as the years went on and the business changed and adapted, it became a little clunky with extra add-ons slowing things down. So, we applied to Highland and Islands Enterprise […]
Over the past few days, we have finally set up the display in our ‘shop shed’. This video hopefully gives some indication of where we are up to. We can’t say thankyou enough to those wonderful people who made this possible by crowdfunding us. It is incredible to think that others will invest in us, […]
(This post was first published over on Chris’s personal blog, here.) We live in a seemingly perpetual Advent. Not just because of all the early Christmas decorating, but because we are all still waiting; for vaccines, for ‘normality’, for release, for and end to isolation and for the possibility of touch. Strange then that […]
This year, we decided to focus our attention on a limited number of Christmas decorations instead of spreading ourselves too thinly. Last year Karen and I had a competition to see who glazed the most decorations. Karen won by glazing lots of workshops decs and I made her a special one-off as a reward! But this […]
We’re very excited to say that we won a prize this weekend at Potfest. Every year there is a (very friendly) competition for the potters taking part in Potfest Scotland and we entered our ‘girl, amended’ into the competition – created from a broken sculpture, as the theme this year is ‘recycle, rebuild, repurpose’. We were […]
We’ve just watched a beautiful talk by Rob Bell called ‘Drops like stars’. It was about the way that destructive forces, like bereavement, betrayal, debt, changes things for us in a positive way – the way that they define the future and the choices we make. He wove so many stories through the talk, including […]
We are always growing and developing what we do, but what has stuck for many years now is our colour scheme and logo, used in paperwork and on the website, as well as leaflets, business cards and labels. So, I wanted to give a shout out to Enterprize web Design and Print Ltd in Lancashire, […]
Seatree is a small, independent business; what we like to call our ongoing experiment into living creatively and sustainably. It has been a labour of love for both of us for four years now. Like many businesses, the pandemic has forced us to do a lot of rethinking. We know that we need to make […]
