About I became interested in holistic and complementary therapies in 1994 after I was invited to an aromatherapy party. I didn't have a clue what aromatherapy was! I had been suffering with eczema on my hands for 14 years. I had tried wearing cotton gloves and plastic gloves and I had used all the steroid creams available. Nothing worked and I was told to live with it. At the party I bought a Tea Tree Oil cream and some Seaweed Bubble Bath and was told this will help. Even though I thought -"rubbish"- I figured I had nothing to lose, so every night I soaked my hands in a bowl of seaweed bath water, and piled on the cream.....and in 3 months my eczema was gone..... ....AND I WAS HOOKED, SO I DECIDED TO GET QUALIFIED..... I have been passionate since then, and have trained in many forms of massage, reflexology, reiki, aromatherapy and stress management. As well as attending many seminars, workshops and conferences. I became Committee Secretary for the Federation Of Small Businesses Arun and District Branch in 2002 and I was their Chairman and representative for 3 years from 2009. I attended National Conference in Newport and Scarborough and had meetings with many Councillors and MP's In May 2011, I became Manager of the Arundel and Littlehampton branch of Mumpreneurs Networking Club and left after 4 years and now I am the Coordinator of the Federation of Holistic Therapists Worthing Local Support Group and Ambassador for the FHT (Federation Of Holistic Therapists)

We started making soap for our family when our daughter developed a mild form of eczema that was made worse by commercially-produced soaps and washes. We spent months researching, and tried out loads of different recipes and combinations to find the ones that work for our daughter’s skin – and for us too. We settled on a combination of high quality ingredients, unfussy essential oil blends, and a slow soap-making process that is as close to the ancient traditional methods as possible. There’s nothing else added: no preservatives, no colourants, no fragrances and no additional heat to speed things up. The best things take time, and proper soap is worth waiting for. What started out as a necessity and family hobby quickly grew into a mini production line in our kitchen as friends and family started coming back for more. When they began “pre-ordering” before batches had cured, we knew we’d hit onto something special that we couldn’t keep to ourselves anymore. Since then we’ve had our soap recipes certified and we have introduced new combinations specifically targeted at problematic skin and household application. Our soaps are available through all of our amazing stockists across Europe, and are also available to buy online via our etsy store. We are working hard to turn our greatest dream into a reality, and we are so honoured to be able to share our soaps with you both online and in-store in our own little bricks and mortar shop in Westcliff-on-Sea.

Harwich

Beverley and Nigel Caleno own, run and are fully immersed in all aspects of Old Bank Studios life. We bought the Old Bank in Harwich in 2011. Having brought up and educated a family in Colchester, we were looking for a change of lifestyle and an opportunity to build on Bev’s Interior and Soft Furnishing business. Falling in love with this magnificent building and the unspoilt, faded charm of Harwich town, where beautiful architecture sits alongside maritime industry and stunning estuary views…….. we took the plunge. Bev very quickly opened her Textile Studio and it soon became clear that demand for her workshops and courses was going from strength to strength. Encouraged by this success, the decision was made to start inviting tutors from outside to deliver workshops; we were going to need more space! And so began a full restoration of the main banking hall; with it’s high ceiling, perfect light and ample space, our new Art Studio was created. As time went on a kitchen was installed in the former bank vault. Since our first Art Workshop in June 2013, we have successfully run hundreds of one day events and longer courses, attracting many of the country’s leading artists and tutors to work with us. Our reputation has spread far and wide and we regularly welcome students from the four corners of the UK, as well as further afield. On a personal level we both continue to explore and develop our own creativity and hold an annual exhibition of our work. Bev is firmly established as a Textile Artist and more recently a painter in Watercolour, whilst Nigel works in in many media, but is gaining a reputation as a Plein Air Oil Painter. We look forward to welcoming you to the Old Bank Studios very soon.
