Special Commission for International Show
We are excited to share some exciting news about one of our studio artists, Tom Paterson, who was commissioned to paint an image to help promote a world-renowned camera crane system at the recent International Broadcast Convention in Amsterdam.
Tom who runs Forager Films also works as a cameraman and just happens to be an accomplished Polecam operator. Needless to say he jumped at the opportunity.
His painting was blown up to a huge 3 meters x 2 metres and featured in prime position on the Polecam event display stand.
IBC is one of the biggest gatherings in the world of Television and Video production professionals - held every year in early September.

Artist Makes Winning Move
When functional artist James Postle salvaged part of a storm-felled ancient elm, he had no idea it would lead him to being part of a very special exhibition, at the very place the tree once grew.
The elm had stood in the grounds of Ayton Castle, near Eyemouth for 132 years till Storm Arwen brought it down in 2021. James, who lives nearby in Ayton Village, came across it when out for a walk. and decided to create something from it, to ensure the tree lived on in a different way for future generations
When The Tin Shed invited him to take part in the annual Art in the Castle event at Ayton Castle he decided to transform it into a huge chess board and pieces as the centrepiece of his display.
Not only did he breathe new life into the ancient, felled tree for future generations, but also got to take it "home" where it had once stood, for his very first exhibition. See more of his work on Instagram @the_postle
