We loved working on this one. Happy Cubs Swimming Schools came to us needing something special for their staff — Teacher of the Year and Coordinator of the Year awards that actually felt like them. So we laser-cut these beautiful birch plywood plaques with their signature bear silhouettes worked right into the design. No generic trophies, just something their team would genuinely be proud to display. They've been a client for years, and it's always great when a project comes together this smoothly. Are you planning a staff recognition event and not sure where to start? Drop us a message — we'd love to help.

Louise Swords will present an interactive maker stand exploring the journey from mark-making to modern fabrication. Visitors can take part in free “make and take” sessions using my non-messy air-drying clay, while also experiencing live 3D printing of wearable designs inspired by Carrickmacross lace. https://cavanconnects.ie/cavan-connects-agenda/97/
