The weekend saw me at two local arts events , a comic one and an open studios one-
Firstly in Abbot’s House. The stair was done up as part of the refurbishment.
But the masterpiece awaited on the top floor. The ceiling murals by Alasdair Gray were everything l had hoped them to be. See here-http://www.sorchadallas.com/works/1830/imagesThe comic fayre was interesting and daughter number two supported the local artists by buying some of their wares.
I do hope to be back for a proper look at the ceiling one day…
The Open Studios were in a former fire station. https://firestationcreative.co.uk/creators/
We really enjoyed chatting to the artists and seeing their work. The building has preserved much of its Art Deco character which is a delight.
Saturday afternoon saw another meeting of the Virtual Wargames Club via Zoom. A delight of creativity, bad puns, prog rock references and dad jokes. Not to mention people talking about their latest projects offering encouragement and hobby advice. We happy few…
