Various entertainments will take place during the day including:
* Freya hand-prints cards and limited edition prints, sometimes with a fleck of gold of silver for a bit of glam. Her work features anything that catches her eye, Chickens, flying men and tins of fish have all been printed, and there's plenty more where that comes from.
* Victoria Gazeley, local artist who will be selling small artworks and homemade craft works. What she strives to capture in her art is each animal's individual personality and how their characteristics can be compared to those of humans.
* Emma McDermott, specialised in jewellery and metalwork, and stained glass technics, combines both crafts to create glass jewellery. Each piece of jewellery is individual as they have been fired in my kiln and the results are always unpredictable.
* Anna Day, Director of Literary Dundee, and Chris Collins, book designer, presents the first Playroom Press book, Dundee 123, a counting book for cool kids using Dundee’s landmarks.
* Jim Stephen, wood turner, makes a wide variety of things, such as fruits, clocks, bowls, etc.
* Margaret Rae makes handmade jewellery and accessories : lacy scarves/snoods and corsage/brooches.
* Georgia Clayton makes hand-knitted hats, inspired by the colours and textures of Scotland – hence the business name “Highland Hues.” – and combining new, recycled wool and other materials. All are named with evocative titles such as Heather Moor, Mossy Brae, Sea Holly etc. She also does all-inclusive kits so that you can knit your own hat.
* Liz McCarthy paints semi-abstract landscapes. “Although most of my paintings are rooted in reality by the beautiful Angus countryside, I do enjoy putting my own personal spin on what I see, and interpreting in a more imaginative way. I am particularly excited by the abstract harmonies that I sense in my subjects and in colour harmony and composition.”
*And more to come...
* Plus a special guest: Garden Gate Plants ... Andrew Morrison will bring hardy garden plants and an attractive range of brushwood animal planters.
See you all there!
