It's taken us a long time to get here but we've finally managed it- life drawing in the beautiful Billiard Room! This evening class took place just in time for Halloween, which is perfect as Margaret Macdonald was very much inspired by fairytales and all things 'Spook School.' Life drawing was part of our CLE strand 'Supporting Local Artists' which waives room hire fee so that professional artists can earn a living wage from their craft. Keep an eye out for our next workshops: bookbinding, lampshades and Winter Eco crafts.

We're very proud of the brilliant Scottish furniture makers Kelvin Murray (Character Joinery) Bruce Hamilton and Angus Ross, who together made 400 pieces of furniture for this building.
If there' a heritage topic you'd like us to cover in future episodes feel free to drop us a line and we will see what we can do.
