Buttercrumble recently represented SMEs at the House of Lords in London, for an event by the British Library (July 2019). Our design studio was selected as a prime example of a homegrown business making a national impact, and we couldn’t feel more honoured!
We were delighted to share our interactive artwork on an international stage at the recent Playtime Paris Show. We were able to engage the public in the arts, whilst also welcoming a new global audience on a larger-scale. View this short round-up film!
We are so pleased to announce that Buttercrumble has been shortlisted for the 2018 NatWest Great British Entrepreneur Awards in the Family Business Entrepreneur of the Year category. We hope we can make our base of Leeds (West Yorkshire) proud!
We beat off tough competition in order to make our regional shortlist, with a record number of businesses entering the awards nationally across the wide range of categories.
We partnered with York Theatre Royal and Little Vikings to bring the outside, inside for Bloom! Festival 2018. Over the course of a sunny Saturday, we illustrated the windows of the theatre and encouraged visitors to join us. We were inspired by the nearby gardens and used this in our drawings.
Earlier this week, we illustrated at the Ladies' Night shopping event at Meadowhall in Sheffield. Customers could sit with us for 10 - 15 minutes to receive a personal portrait. It was such a fun evening and we met so many lovely people. This creative experience left everyone smiling.
To celebrate the launch of the new Seasalt Cornwall store in Lincoln, we were invited to create a buzz with our stylish, live illustration.
We had such a fantastic time and thanks so much to everyone who popped by to receive an illustrated portrait. We hope you enjoy them! They are always a pleasure to create. The new Lincoln store is looking beautiful and situated within the newly redeveloped Cornhill Quarter. It's definitely worth a visit.
York is a city of beauty, talent and heritage, so it’s no surprise they have their own Culture Awards evening, hosted by Make It York. York Culture Awards is an annual celebration of the city’s best cultural and arts organisations and events. We were so excited to be invited to record the event through the power of illustration.
Seasalt Cornwall launched a beautiful new store in Lytham, Lancashire and we were delighted to be invited to its opening. There were giveaways, gifts, Cornish saffron buns, fudge and illustrations by us. We were in residence from 11am - 4pm and illustrated lots of lovely customers whilst there.
