The NESTA award winning (doesn’t that sound grand?) Made in the Shade will be returning to the Lighthouse next month to host another bumper ‘off-beat design, craft and vintage lifestyle’ fest. They will be joined by an unrivalled pick of UK creative talent who will be selling their wares and making merry. Highlights this season include acclaimed boutique and DIY favourites Lady Luck Rules OK and fellow NESTA award winning business Kabloom – the originator of uber-cool guerrilla gardening product, Seedbom.

Made In The Shade, a dinky but dynamic business based in Glasgow, offers designers, crafters and other creative micro-retailers innovative showcase / retail opportunities and bespoke, sector specific business and marketing services. With plans to open the first multi-functional Made In The Shade retail space in Glasgow in Autumn/Winter 2009, the gals will continue to nurture and support creative talent from Scotland and across the UK.

Last month, the Made In The Shade gals’ efforts were recognised and rewarded by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA). Made In The Shade won grant funding from the NESTA Starter for 6 programme, allocated to innovative businesses with a view to helping them flourish. Yay!
