Double Award For Creative Terrace

Two creative businesses based at The Terrace have scooped national awards as the city’s reputation as a creative hub goes from strength to strength.

Ted Brewer, manufacturer of bespoke electric violins, whose most famous client is Vanessa Mae, scooped the award for ‘Best Export Innovation’ at the Music Industry Association Awards. The Award includes a free stand at next year’s Messe Frankfurt Music Industry Exhibition, which is generally recognised as the largest music industry exhibition in the World. The ceremony was held at the Sheraton Hotel, Park Lane, London on Monday 14 October.

Then on Wednesday 14th October Mark Chambers of Mark Chambers Illustration, Lincoln, won the Children’s Book Award of the National Association for Special Educational Needs at a ceremony held at the Russell Hotel in London.

Both winners are based at the creative industries workspace, The Terrace, in Lincoln. The Terrace Manager, Keith Luckey said: “All of us here at The Terrace feel very proud to be associated with Ted and Mark and are confident that they will continue to go from strength to strength. This is also a fantastic achievement for Lincoln and can only support our work to see Lincoln grow as a creative centre.”

Ted, whose company is called Ted Brewer Violins, based on the top floor of The Terrace, said: "I am absolutely over the moon with this award because it is presented by fellow music industry professionals. So far as I am aware this is the first major award to be won by a company based at The Terrace but I feel confident that many others will follow."

Mark’s winning book, was published by Tango Books last February, and is entitled Best Friends. It is about a disabled boy in a wheelchair and his best friend (a girl) who pretend they’re pirates on a ship, mountain climbers, astronauts, explorers and Olympic sprinters…. But when they are not playing make believe they also have a great time because they’re best friends!

On winning the award Mark said: “I am overwhelmed that my work has been recognised and appreciated. I am also pleased to be bringing the award back to Lincoln and The Terrace.”

Wayne Hemingway at The Terrace

Wayne Hemingway MBE will officially declare the Terrace open, on Wednesday the 24th of September.

Having started the now worldwide established fashion company Red or Dead from a clothing stall in London’s Camden and Kensington Markets, Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway managed to break into the highly competitive fashion world.

With 21 consecutive London Fashion Week appearances, and three unprecedented prestigious British Fashion Council’s Streetstyle Designer of the Year Awards in 1996, 1997 and 1998, the pair who met at a disco in Burnley, sold the company for a multi-million pound figure to start an affordable and social design business Hemingway Design.

“We fell in to Red or Dead with no money and fell out with lots; but most of all it was a challenge and fantastic fun from beginning to end,” said Wayne. “We like to think that we played a part in removing the stigma from shopping for cool stuff on the high street and paved the way for forward thinkers to put the likes of Top Man and Top Shop before overpriced and over marketed labels.”

Born in 1961, Wayne and Gerardine are now responsible for some of the country’s most stunning and awe inspiring architecture. Completed projects include ‘The Staiths Southbank,’ a sizeable home development site on the banks of the River Tyne in Gateshead, and ‘The Bridge Dartford’, a development of 1000 designer homes in Kent.

Wayne and Gerardine have won a series of high profile awards including Housing Design Awards for the best large project and Building Magazine’s ‘Best Housing-Led Regeneration Project.’

This summer will also see the transformation of an old building on the Boscombe seafront to Hemingway designed ‘Super Surf Pods’ which will accompany Europe’s first artificial surf reef.
Wayne and Gerardine were each awarded an MBE for services to the design industry, in the 2006 Queen’s Birthday Honours list.

The Terrace opening ceremony will take place is the presence of the Mayor of the City Of Lincoln, Councillor Ron Hills and over 100 invited guests.

Mystery In Stone

"MYSTERY IN STONE” an exhibition of premier Zimbabwean stone sculptures will be held at The Terrace, Grantham Street, Lincoln, from 27 October 2008 through 21 November 2008.
This highly expressive contemporary stone art of African artists from Zimbabwe, many from the Shona Tribe, speaks their deep concern, feelings and experiences of the environment around their cultural beliefs.

Zimbabwean stone sculpture is a profound, deeply human expression of the African people that transcends time and space. Sculptors say their ancestors' spirits come in dreams and visions to reveal themselves in images that dwell within the stone. These "voices in stone" can almost be heard through the awe-inspiring sculptures, which tell tales of life in traditional and contemporary works of art. In this way, sculptors release life within the stone and their spirits soar within the collective reality of the African people.

The sculptures are organized around eight themes that represent shared human relationships, emotions and experiences. They represent: The Family, Custom and Legend, Social Comment, The Role of the Elders, The Spirit World, The Role of Women, Village Life, and Nature and Environment:

The exhibition will be open between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday between 28th October and 21st November and additionally between 10am and 4pm on Saturday 15th November. Admission is free.

Ted Brewer Violins

Ted Brewer, who has been designing and producing electric violins since 1993, and whose most famous client is Vanessa Mae, moved into two workshops at The Terrace on 1st August 2007.

Ted produces individual hand crafted instruments, as well as the Vivo² a departure into more readily, widely available violins and his latest design the Sirius.

The instruments are assembled by hand in the company workshops at The Terrace in Lincoln. The result is a strong polycarbonate frame available in blue and purple colors or clear, all with metallic fleck, as well as in a completely clear body option.

Standard high-quality features include: ebony fingerboard and chinrest; piezo charge pick-up; digitally-controlled analog charge amplifier; Grover machine heads; fine adjusters built into an aluminum tailpiece; and Tomastic Dominant strings.

“The sound is stunning,” says Ted, “as a result of a new carbon-fiber bridge design and our advanced TBV audio system. For more extrovert users, a built-in sound-to-light facility brings two vertical banks of super-bright LEDs into operation, sending light pulsing along the length of the instrument in response to the music.”

Finger-light, microprocessor-controlled touch-buttons within the violin body provide fast and easy control of volume and tone. Settings are stored by the processor memory even when the battery (supplied with the violin) is removed. There is a ¼-inch jack-socket and a separate mini-jack headphone socket for use when practicing.

UK musical instrument magazine Music Mart wrote of the Vivo2: “You’ve got eye-catching good looks, a superb sound from a responsive instrument, easy controls and features, and your own personal light show! What more could a 21st century violinist require?”

Ted has been living in Lincoln for three years now and has moved his business to The Terrace. He says; “I chose the workshops (at The Terrace) as they are well designed, have plenty of natural light and the building is in the centre of the city. I think the whole concept of a building dedicated to the creative industries is fantastic.”

For further information go to http://www.tedbrewerviolins.com/ or email: ted@tedbrewerviolins.com or call 01522 525161. Interested music press reviewers and critics are encouraged to make arrangements for a trial of the violins.

Plant A Tree

Root Studio, The Terrace’s own eco friendly Graphic Design are set to go one step further in tackling climate change! By promising to plant a tree for every new client they receive in 2008/9 they hope to make the county’s businesses become greener.
Root Studio’s founders, Tom Bradley and Lydia Sibson say:
“By planting a tree for every new client we receive we are hoping to offset our clients’ carbon footprint whilst improving Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire’s environment and provide habitats for our local wildlife. By choosing to use our design services you will not only receive high quality products but you will be safe in the knowledge that your project’s environmental impact has been kept to an absolute minimum.”
All trees planted by the studio will be British broad-leaved trees planted within the Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire countryside. Root Studio are hoping that their latest campaign will have a positive impact on others within the local community, helping them to become more aware of the climate change issue.
This is not the first green idea that Root Studio have had since they arrived on the scene in 2007. With environmental awareness at their core this innovative design team strive to use as many recycled products as possible, from recycled papers to vegetable inks, bio-degradable banners and even solar powered websites.
Based in The Terrace, Root’s most recent clients include the likes of the Lincolnshire Show, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, the EPIC Project, JHWalter and My Wedding Story.
Jonathan Ryan of My Wedding Story said: “Root Studio helped us put together some marketing materials earlier this year and they have proved highly successful. Our brochures, printed on 100% recycled paper using vegetable inks, were of outstanding quality and went from concept to print without using a single sheet of paper.”
Lydia Sibson of Root Studio tells us: “Our design services are personal and unique, as well as focusing on attention to detail and the overall quality of what we produce. Whatever your size, budget and job we’ll give you more than any traditional design agency, while giving us all a better peace of mind.”
