Preparations for a busy summer

I’m very busy preparing work for Printmakers of Scotland annual Festival of Printmaking at University of Stirling from 15 to 17 August and bound : unbound’s exhibition ‘On the Same Page’ at Upright Gallery Edinburgh 6-26 September.

I’ve also signed up to two workshops, one at Paintbox Art School and the other with Damian Callan. Both of these centred round the harbours at Cockenzie and Port Seton in East Lothian.
This week I’m drawing for a few hours at Redhall Walled Garden in Edinburgh.
So all go!
