Working behind the scenes with Lucy Sparrow @sewyoursoul on her exhibition #TheBeginningofConvenience, has been an incredible project.
From collecting the pieces in an 18-ton truck to designing large bespoke wooden crates for safe international transport, our team has been working carefully towards the safe delivery to @themomentary, Arkansas.
Now the crates are officially on their way across the Atlantic…

If you’ve got temporary shows, exhibitions or shoots, lined up for Summer 2026 and beyond, the ATA Carnet is officially going digital (ditching the paperwork by 2028) making things faster.
A carnet is essentially a temporary passport for selected items, (from artwork, film kits, exhibition stands, to fabric samples and beyond) letting you move them through customs/borders tax-free, provided they`re coming back home with you.
Starting 1 June 2026, the UK, EU, Norway, and Switzerland are kicking off the transition.
What you need to know:
1. The Transition: For a while, digital and paper carnets will live side-by-side.
2. Check your destination: Every country is moving at its own pace, so don`t assume everywhere is digital yet!
3. Avoid the headache: Double-check the requirements for your specific destination to avoid those "surprise" border fees.

Over £2100 raised… incredible! We’re very pleased to be able to support such a fantastic cause… well done @kimelcafe and thanks for the mention. 🤩
Repost: kimelcafe - You guys are amazing, we can’t thank you enough for your support day in and day out. Today at the May Fayre we made over £2100 which is the most we have ever taken at one of these events. We are in disbelief that we beat our total from the Winter Carnival, we honestly didn’t think that it would be possible. Thank you to everyone that donated prizes and to everyone that came to the stall today to support us, we couldn’t do it without you guys. A big shoutout to @flightlg1 for your generosity, you are all fabulous 🩷
