Here’s an award winning retailer’s window.
This Bee themed window at Stocks put itself forward in the Henley on Thames Regatta ‘Shop Window competition’ and found itself voted one of the best shop windows in 2017. Sandie Russell of Stocks said, “We’re really pleased to get an award in our first year of entering.
she went on to say “Our window featured bee pictures by local artist Tasmin Pyper. Our whole ethos is to promote the best of local. Tasmin has created some special cards and notelets for Henley which include oars and swans.”
Carbon Colour produced hexagonal hanging cards which were suspended from the interior ceiling, and make it appear that bees are in the window space.

For the past ten years we have worked with the Museum of Oxford – producing exhibition panels and background materials for many of their most popular events.
Opened in 1975 it immediately intrigued locals and visitors to the city with the story of Oxford and how it has developed. Bringing together a diverse collection, everything from Roman pottery to marmalade jars, the Museum of Oxford weaves the story of the city from the prehistoric to the modern day.

We were commissioned to mount a large Jackson Pollock print which had been purchased from Modern Art Oxford – initially onto Foamex to maintain its stability and then to oversee its installation into a private house in Oxford.

The present Ashmolean was created in 1908 by combining two ancient Oxford institutions: the University Art Collection and the original Ashmolean Museum. The older partner in this merger, the University Art Collection, was based for many years in what is now the Upper Reading Room in the Bodleian Library. The collection began modestly in the 1620’s with a handful of portraits and curiosities displayed in a small room on the upper floor. In 1636 and 1657, Archbishop Laud and Ralph Freke added notable collections of coins and medals, later installed in a strong room of their own and now incorporated into the Ashmolean coin collection.
The objects of curiosity included Guy Fawkes’ lantern and a sword said to have been given by the Pope to Henry VIII, both now in the Ashmolean, as well as a number of more exotic items, including Jacob’s Coat of Many Colours, long since lost. However, as there was a museum for curiosities of this kind in the University Anatomy Theatre, objects like this tended to go there or to the Ashmolean, after it opened in 1683, leaving the Bodleian gallery to develop as a museum of art.

The display included a first edition printed by Oxford University Press in 1865 which was withdrawn by Carroll because the book’s illustrator, John Tenniel, found the printing unsatisfactory. Other early editions of the work were also on display including the first American publication from 1866.
Other events were also held in the Ashmolean Museum, Botanic Garden, Christ Church, Museum of History of Science and the Museum of Natural History.
