HARESTANES GLASS STUDIO

We took on space at Why Not in Galashiels, as well as taking part in Christmas craft fairs Heart of Hawick and Queens House in Kelso.
​
We had more commissions this year as well as having the honour of making the VAW award for SBRCC for the 2nd year in a row.

Thank you to all of our lovely customers, and all the new friends we have made this year.

​2020 will be an interesting year, with our studio having a little bit of TLC and remodelling in January so we will be reopening in February (date to be confirmed).🎉

It was an honour to produce the award for Violence Against Women (VAW) partnership Award 2019, for Scottish Borders Rape Crisis Centre.

​It was important for the award to have meaning in accordance with VAW and SBRC ethos. The colours were chosen not only for their historical reference to the Suffragettes, but also for the symbolic meanings related to them.
 
PURPLE was chosen for compassion, understanding, support and empathy.
GREEN selected for creativity, growth, rebirth, harmony and life.

The number of dots used in the design also had symbolic meaning to us.

The number 3 used to represent unity, kindness, joy, growth and inspiration.
The number 5 to represent strength, adaptability, independence and understanding.

​Congratulations to the winner Corrinne Johnston, to find out more check out Scottish Borders Council website.
