Jack was lucky enough to be invited to Guildhall by Simon Cook from Reset Scenery, to see his demonstration of the Lignoloc wooden nail.

Hidden nails can cause severe damage to your equipment and be expensive to replace, as well as being unsustainable.

By using wooden nails, you can repurpose and reuse timber far more safely and easily, meaning you can get the maximum working life from your materials, making scenic carpentry that bit more sustainable.

Coming soon to Flints.

Following on from the Sustainability workshop we delivered earlier this year, Talia was invited back to see the final exhibition of the graduating students of the Production Arts at

From Talia "It was an absolute pleasure to talk to the exhibitors about their works and interests in theatre production. From Alyssia’s charming puppet dog, ‘Scrappy’, crafted from reclaimed materials to Junior’s stunning drag costumes that looked to be dripping with diamonds and gold, the creativity on display was inspiring. I also experienced Sam’s haunting Macbeth soundscape and learned about Lillie’s passion for the history of stage management and the pioneering women who shaped the profession. The talent, imagination, and dedication of all the students was truly impressive."

Incredible work, and all of us at Flints wish the very best of luck to all the students in their future careers.

World Environment Day 🌍

This year for World Environment Day, we want to spotlight our 'Sustainability Edit' booklet.

This has been going down a storm in person, and we think it's a really valuable resource to just show how many viable eco-alternatives exist out there! In true Flints style we are always honest about product's limitations, but even so we think many of you may find it inspiring...

If you meet us in person out and about, we will probably have a sustainably printed copy to hand, but otherwise here is a link to the digital version:
https://www.flints.co.uk/pdf/other/sustainability%20booklet%20_clickable.pdf

On page 3, you will find a link to a talk given at Set and Scene earlier this year by our lovely Jack, talking about the process of bringing some of these materials to market, and the testing work we've done with Gavin Gibson and Mike Garret from the NT!

Steve Mackluskie, inventor of the Beam Strap Clamp is here to answer all of your burning questions!
 
We hope this clears a few things up and gives a deeper insight into what the product is all about, how it works, and why he came up with it in the first place.
 
If you’re here at the ABTT today, it is your last chance to buy one for a show special price! If not, don’t worry, it will be coming to our website very soon.
