Macmillan Art Show

I went to the opening preview for the Macmillan Art Show last night and was amazed by the amount of work on display. It is held at the Satrosphere Science Centre, 179 Constitution Street, Aberdeen from 25th April to 5th May.
It is one of Scotland's largest art shows with over 700 works of art for sale by amateur and professional artists, including paintings, sculptures, textiles, ceramics and jewellery. It is huge! And what a fabulous selection, there is something there for everybody ... And I mean everybody! It is a must see, so if you are in the area please pop in and have a look … even better buy something!!! It’s for such a good cause. Or log onto the Macmillan Cancer Support web site.
There will be a series of lectures and workshops by featured artists running during this charity exhibition, including myself! Emma Pattullo's children’s workshop "Pottery Plaques" on Saturdays 26th April and 3rd May ~ 10:30 to 12pm, children can create and make a pottery plaque in clay for a bedroom door/wall. On the Saturday afternoons from 2 to 4pm I am the resident artist(!) working away on my most recent body of work, so do pop by and see me at work for "In a Nutshell".
If you are interested booking a place to any of the lectures or workshops, or finding out more about the exhibition and artists please telephone (01224) 701505 or email northscotland@macmillan.org.uk
