Behind the business: Deirdre Gage @ Created Gallery

S

o Deirdre, tell us about yourself and your background.

“I’m originally from Leeds and moved to Chesterfield with my husband Dominic in 1986. Dominic is a physiotherapist and potter. I was working as a teacher until 2005 when I decided I’d had enough so I found myself a studio in the courtyard of Eyam Hall in the Peak District. I started selling my work as a textile artist and teaching feltmaking.”

You’ve not been on Chatsworth Road long, what made you establish Created?

“In 2007 we were approached by Libby Morris & she described the idea behind 479. She wondered if I might be interested in owning a craft gallery upstairs and if Dom might be interested in taking workshop space at the rear of 479 for his pottery studio. At the time, our daughter

Clare was just about to finish her degree and had won a major award from the Royal Society of Arts. This gave her money to establish a studio and she decided to take the studio space at 479.

After some discussion in the family, we hit on the plan to open Created and to close Woolgathering in Eyam. I was reluctant to lose my workshop space but I’ve just found a new workshop in Brampton Courtyard, courtesy of Liam Jacques and plan to start new courses there from May 2010. My time will be split between the gallery and the courtyard and Clare will be in the gallery along with Dominic to cover all our opening times.”

Margo Selby

What are the highlights of Created?

“Customers coming back again and again because the gifts they’ve bought from us have been so well received. And people visiting us for the first time because they loved their gift from Created and just had to find the shop!

As a lover of cake, I enjoy our celebrations at the Gallery such as Strawberry Sunday and Autumn Afternoon. There’s no real reason for “It’s the handmade gallery! Everything them except to force tea and cake onto our customers, friends, family, we stock is made by craftspeople in gallery makers – anyone who strolls the British Isles.” in. Dom’s mum (Grandma Mary) is our What’s the biggest challenge?

“Getting people to understand that craft means well designed and skilfully made quality products. Through programmes such as ‘Kirsty’s Homemade Home’ and Monty Don’s ‘Mastercrafts’ people are beginning to understand the skills in both designing and making that make you a craftmaker.”

fray when cut, is heat resistant and makes a great basis for starting a textile project. Or you can use it as a table mat (heat resistant, remember).

But that’s just the beginning with feltmaking.”

How many people are involved in Created? Are they all creative?

You always seem so active in the community. Other than Created, where might people see you?

“Created is a family business with Dom, Clare and I involved on a day to day basis but the rest of our clan are dragged in to help. Our eldest son Brendan takes our publicity photographs but works as a theatre lighting technician. Daniel our youngest son and his girlfriend Helen write press releases from their home in Hampshire. Miranda is our youngest daughter at school in Chesterfield but often seen on stage in local theatres.

Then there is Robyn Carr, Clare’s friend from uni and a talented designer/maker, my cousin Ben who is studying art and last but not least is Clare’s fiancé, Jon Sim. You’ll see them all in Created at some time or other.”

“I play the tenor horn in Brampton Community Band. Miranda, Dom and I are involved in Hasland Theatre Company with Dom stage managing, Miranda acting and I act or direct.”

There’s a lot of change happening on Chatsworth Road at present, what do you think to it all?

“I’m very excited, obviously. I’m always intrigued to see what happens next. This is the area we live in so I enjoy telling people what’s new on their doorstep because it’s our doorstep too. It’s important to spread the word when change is happening.”

Q3 Best thing about the community around you?

“I really enjoy living here. I’ve lived here a long time so the place is full of friends. “

So the standard Who is the most inspiring artist you’ve questions that we’ll be asking displayed/stocked? everyone about S40.

Start thinking about giving your conifers and other evergreen hedges their first cut. Check for nesting birds before you start.

Plant out summer bedding plants after Whit Sunday or when the risk of frost has gone.

Prune Ribes and Berberis after they have flowered.

Clean your patio and garden furniture in preparation for the first BBQ of the year … hopefully.

Derbyshire Open Arts: On Your Doorstep ay 29th – 31st brings our second bank holiday weekend in May, and the fifth annual Derbyshire Open Arts (“Darts”) event, where artists throw open their homes, studios, gather in public halls or venues to offer you the opportunity to meet them, view and perhaps buy their work, find out more and be inspired. The event reaches every corner of our county, and we are lucky to have nine artists displaying in this very area.

M

A swift look at the promotional booklet, which you can pick up for free from Created Gallery, at 479 Chatsworth Road, features all artists participating (more than 140). So if you want to find out more, go and get yourself a booklet. In S40 Local, I wanted to introduce you to those nine participants showing on our doorstep...

Clare Gage (1) is an award winning ceramic artist creating elegant porcelain tableware in her signature textile-inspired style. She works from her studio to the rear of four7nine on Chatsworth Road. Clare's studio will be open for you to have a look around Liz Wellby and Created Gallery (owned by Clare's family) will be open during the weekend giving you the chance to discover more creative pieces whilst you visit.

On the 28th May from 7:30 – 9:30, Created are hosting a Preview Party to celebrate the start of the “Darts” weekend, so why not come along and kick off a creative weekend in style.

Andy Rodgers (2) Andy’s been involved in Derbyshire Open Arts since its beginnings and so this year he’s ‘giving it a go’ and taking part.

“Basically, it's a bit of fun for me - I'm retired, so fortunate that I don’t need to take it too seriously. Hence my ‘Overground Art’, the main part of what I'll have on show, it includes one of Chesterfield, ‘Derbyshire Overground’ ... and even a ‘Holymoorside Overground’. I’ll also have framed photographs and photograph greetings cards based on the photos on display.”

Liz Wellby (3) Drawing, painting and prints inspired by still life imagery and Chinese wallpapers. Original works and reproductions available.

Kate Pheasey (4) Modern Mosaic art, contemporary abstracts to rustic animals using a variety of materials, from rusted barbed wire to stained glass. It’s not just little squares! Kate lives and works at Rowland near Bakewell.

Andy Rodgers

“I studied Art & Design at Chesterfield College in the mid 1990's, started making mosaics in 2003 and have exhibited in the Derbyshire Open Arts event since its inception in 2006. I love the whole process of mosaics from the first idea, the design, and the "making" process. Sometimes my work is idea/image led and other times material led. I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and materials. I do use a lot of stained glass in my mosaics but have used materials as diverse as rusted metal and feathers. I exhibit at local art events and galleries, and happily take on commissions”.

Lucy Palmer (5) Lucy creates unique and beautiful jewellery inspired by myths, fairytales and folk lore, with an emphasis on animals and the natural world. In her jewellery she escapes the mundane and creates a magical world of far away places, enchanted forests and mysterious creatures.

The intricate designs are cut by hand in precious metals and are often layered to give a three dimensional, miniature stage. Techniques used to embellish the surface, include ‘Keum Boo’, an ancient Korean technique of fusing pure gold foil to silver.

Lucy Palmer

After graduating from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in ‘Decorative Arts’, Lucy spent several years working as a Community Artist before returning to focus on producing her own work. Each piece of jewellery is handmade by Lucy in her workshop at Banks Mill studios, Derby.

Derbyshire Open Arts: On Your Doorstep Jennie Merriman ( 6) My work centres on the development of weaving using a variety of structures, and often includes the use of acrylic sheet and wood. “I began my textile work as an embroiderer. After taking City and Guilds embroidery and design courses in Sheffield I began to develop an affinity for working with acrylic sheet, initially to present my textile work and then it became an integral part of the work. I drilled holes in the clear transparent plastic to stitch into it with a variety of threads, and incorporated digitally manipulated images, sometimes creating many layers to the work.

As my work progresses I create my own ways of working, as there are no traditional techniques to follow and I often have to find my own way and develop a new set of rules to inform the process.

Jennie Merriman

Compositions progress from a simple geometric basis working towards the characteristics of harmony and discipline. Starting with a two dimensional frame it builds upon itself to create three dimensional structures and patterns of stability between the various entities”.

Jerry Daniel ( 7) Pictorial photography based on minor landscape features.

“My landscape images use details rather than traditional views, rarely including the horizon. Illuminating this obvious reference point increases the potential for landscapes to go beyond identifiable locations, and become interpretations, a vehicle for my creative ideas which are still influenced by my art school years.

However, I’m sure there are other unconscious stimulants from the multimedia we absorb daily.

I interpret landscapes by imposing my cultural values onto trees, water and rocks. This process is mostly intuitive but also careful composition, often involving several visits to a location, or combining images with different exposure values, filters or focus. The images have minor manipulations and enhancements in Photoshop”.

Maldivian Retreat hether you’re planning a special break, a romantic interlude or just an extraordinary family break, the Maldives is certainly the destination for a holiday of a lifetime.

W

If you doubted that paradise existed you’ve never visited this beautiful Maldivian retreat.

Recently I visited Halaveli one of the many Maldivian islands, which was transformed and reopened in April 2009 by the Constance group, and now provides the exquisite island retreat of the Constance Halaveli Resort.

Our journey began on an overnight flight from Birmingham airport via Dubai to Male. We were met and swiftly escorted to the resorts private lounge to await our transfer, a 20 minute journey by sea plane to our

very own Robinson Crusoe Island, with a very 21st century touch of luxury.

It sits floating in the North Ari atoll, shaped like a curved Dhoni (Maldivian Boat), a theme very much apparent throughout the island. The Five star Halaveli resort is a place where time seems to have stopped and dreams really do become reality, it’s certainly a place to relax and regenerate in overwhelming peacefulness.

The island has one of the longest jetties in the Maldives, elegantly standing over a remarkably tempting turquoise lagoon.

Here you can find the 57 water villas, all offering outstanding privacy and comfort. The villas are creatively designed with high ceilings that represent the shape of the Dhoni, they are spacious and furnished to a very high standard; all have flat screen TV, wifi and apple Mac computer technology. The bathrooms are 18 18

stunning with freestanding bathtubs virtually on the deck, so after a very hard day you can soak in luxurious bath oils watching the sunset over the lagoon. I told you paradise does really exist! The outside space is as breathtaking; you have your own secluded sundeck which leads onto an infinity plunge pool dropping off into the azure waters of the Indian Ocean and steps lead down into the water where you can swim with an array of tropical fish.

The beach villas in comparison, of which there are 28 in all, are dotted around the island with beachfront location. They are shielded by tropical gardens which offer immense privacy.

To the front there’s a quiet retreat for morning breakfast or evening in villa dining. To the rear, the villas have large open air bathrooms with sunken bathtubs and rainforest showers, the 8 double storey villas are ideal for families.

international cuisine. Alternatively you can dine alfresco at the MEERU beach grill, a stunning setting for sundowners. The third option JING, a breathtaking overwater restaurant which features speciality fusion food where East really does meet West.

To compliment each meal there’s an extensive wine list which takes an enchanting “journey” around the worlds wine lands. To help or guide you is one of the three Sommelier’s, whose knowledge is exceptional. A guided tour around one of the 2 wine cellars is a must, a wine dinner can also be organised.

For those looking for something other than relaxing in a private poolside Cabana or beachside lounger, there’s an array of water sports to choose

Once you’ve stepped out of your villa, you may ask, what now?

Well for me the culinary experience was among one of the highlights of the trip.

Admittedly a bit of a foodie, I was utterly amazed by the variety and standard of the gastronomic delights that were set in front of me at every opportunity. Too many fresh fruits to recognise or remember, fish of every variety freshly caught from the local waters, homemade breads, cakes and puddings to die for, meats so succulent and tender, the list is endless; and if you didn’t see what you wanted, one of the many top chefs would be honoured to prepare your favourite dish. I’ve never been so spoilt in all my life!

There is a choice of three restaurants, JAHAZ, the main dining area which is primarily self service, with an exceptional array of divinely delicious Connecting Our Community

from. Whether it’s just snorkelling around the coral reef independently or joining one of the organised sessions the choice is yours. For the more adventurous or experienced you can dive to see the rich diversity of marine life in, what is said to be, one of the three best dive sites in the Maldives. Other activities include sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, waterskiing, there’s even a fishing trips where you can bring home your supper.

The air conditioned fully equipped gym looked inviting, especially after one too many deserts, but I have to admit the short walk around the

island was usually enough for the feeling to pass.

Those who choose to do nothing at all, will love the sumptuous Island Spa which provides the ultimate place to be pampered.

extensive range of treatments located in over water treatment rooms. Did I hear the word ‘paradise’ mentioned again?

From the moment you were greeted at Male airport till that last parting handshake and smile from the friendliest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, I have to say that I have never experienced such sumptuous luxury, relaxation, culinary delight and overwhelming feeling of peace.

S40 Expansion I started S40 Local over a year ago to meet my need for good quality, value for money advertising for my decorating business. I started delivering to just over 4000 addresses and it’s grown to 4350, this month I will distribute to an additional 3700 properties taking the total circulation to approximately 8000 addresses - the new area is shown on the map.

My aim is to encourage us all to shop and buy our products and services from businesses within the community, wherever possible. This supports our neighbours, keeps the place we live vibrant in difficult times and helps sustain a strong sense of community. So it’s Green = Old Area good for our economy, Red = Addi onal New Area environment and Brampton ourselves.

Prices start from £25 for a colour advert, which I hope makes it affordable for all businesses.

So, if you’re interested in getting involved you’ve got an event, something to share, a photo for the cover or you want to advertise, please give me a call on 01246 568 519 or email paul@s40local.co.uk.

Energy, and Money, from the Sun For many years, people interested in using solar panels to generate their own power or heat their own water have had to accept it would take quite a while for their investment to pay back. However, a recent government programme has shortened the payback period significantly and made solar panels a much more sensible investment.

currently). If they feed it back to the grid, they get 5p/kWh. For a typical house, this can mean combined savings and earnings of around £1000/ year, on a system that costs maybe £10,000 to install. The payments are guaranteed for 25 years, and pegged to inflation. A similar tariff will be introduced for solar thermal panels (the kind that heat your water).

As of 1 April, owners of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels (the ones that produce electricity) will be paid 41.3p/kWh for whatever they produce, whether they use it or not. If they use it, of course, they save what they would have paid their electricity provider (around 12.5p/kWh

If the price of electricity goes up, which is pretty likely in the next 25 years, you will earn and save even more.

It’s much more complicated than this, with payments for other forms of renewable energy and restrictions on size and who can install the systems, etc., before you get to the technical complexities of the system itself. But there are plenty of companies willing to talk you through it, www.fitariffs.co.uk, for instance, has a great deal of useful information, which you can read without buying into their service package.

we offered another one and that sold out as well. We are now in discussions with the Council to offer a free workshop, as interest is so intense.

In September, as part of our EcoHomes Open Days, you will be able to see several houses in Chesterfield that have had solar panels installed, along with a variety of other energy efficiency technologies and environmentally friendly innovations.

Last September, we opened five homes and over eighty people visited one or more of the homes. Being able to talk to ordinary people who live in houses like yours, hear their stories, and see the systems in place and working can inspire you and dispel some fears.

Transition Chesterfield offered a Bill Leverett workshop which sold out very quickly, Transition Chesterfield

PC Randell’s Update Following the community panel meeting held in February the priority issues I will be looking at are:

• • •

handbag and purse thefts from the local supermarket. I have been carrying out regular patrols around the supermarket to reassure shoppers and held a crime prevention stall giving out purse chains and safety advice I will also be working to reduce the number of burglaries and theft from motor vehicles across Walton and West, and an ongoing operation to target theft from motor vehicles has led to a number of arrests in the area. I will continue to target these issues I have been offering Smartwater to local residents to protect their property. This is a device that marks property with a unique code is a deterrent to burglars

If you would like have an input in helping decide the priority issues I will tackle in the coming months, please come along to the next neighbourhood panel meeting at Walton Evangelical Church on Thursday 1st July from 5pm onwards. On Wednesday 28th April the mobile Police Station will be outside Morrisons, Chatsworth Road to gve out security advice to customers.

Please visit the Derbyshire police website to find out more about the Walton and West Safer Neighbourhood Team and the latest crime figures for the area.

Or perhaps you want to sell the car or even your house? Then get in touch with us here at S40 Local. We would like to establish a classified page which enables you to sell on your items, and people can even pop round and pick them up as they will be on your doorstep … no more need to wrap them and get yourself down to the Post Office!

As this is a new idea there may be some teething troubles, but the idea is this, we make the 8000 household in your area aware of your advert, they contact you and away you go.

PULSAR IPL Treatment Machine

Pricing would work like this; items under £100 would be advertised for free, items £100 and above would be charged at £5 per advert and larger adverts with an image, like our first advert, the IPL machine, would be price on application.

We only have a page available at first, so it makes sense to get in touch early.
