It’s been a whirlwind few months with loads going on over the summer in life and art! But for now I just wanted to tell you about a few events I’m participating in, already in progress and on the horizon.
The Made in Stirling Summer Market is ongoing until August 31st; M.I.S. is one of my favourite indie shops, stocking a huge array of gorgeous art, craft and design from the Stirlingshire area. They also provide workshops and creative experiences for the local community, creating a unique and vibrant space bang in the centre fo Stirling. Twice a year they invite makers from all over Scotland to participate in their summer and winter events, and I was very happy to be asked this year to get involved!
On this coming Saturday, August 3rd you can find me at the beautiful Burrell Collection in Glasgow with Tea Green Events, which I am super excited about! I’ve spent many hours happily wandering through this incredible building, and I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ve done with the place since its recent refurbishment. Tea Green events are always top notch so this should be a grand day out! Open 10-5, free entry.
Then at the end of August we have the mighty Perthshire Open Studios – this will be my second year taking part in POS and again you can find me at home in the wooden workshop. It’s a great opportunity to buy/see my new work and pieces I’m currently working on, as well as experiments and discounted items I won’t be selling anywhere else. It’s a chance to meet lots of artists, designers and craftspeople and to find out how they do what they do. And it’s a really fun way to explore corners of Perthshire which you might not see otherwise!
Due to other work commitments I will only be opening Fri/Sat/Sun this year but I will be back with all the details before the big event.
