Journey back through time with our Ancient Civilizations inspired display, created by staff on a recent materials training day and you will see Mayan, Egyptian, Celtic, Roman, Native American and Aboriginal influences!!

To keep skills up to date and allow staff to familiarise themselves with our products and scrap, we arrange 3 training days a year in arts and crafts.  The theme is decided amongst the team, with the view to creating a new Ideas Gallery display at the end of it.

This time we wanted to create an informative display that would allow a lot of room for creativity. After much discussion the team settled on ‘Ancient Civilizations’.  Each staff member picked an area of personal interest to them and then did some internet research looking for inspiration and historical background.  Some staff members picked a civilization due to family roots; others merely out of personal interest or fond childhood memories.

The finished result is a vibrant creative use of scrap & shop materials that has a ‘school’-type exhibition feel which we felt suited the overall theme very well.  Travel through the diverse collection of ancient world cultures and collection of scrap tribal masks in the Ideas Gallery and collect your own inspiration!
