Winter Wonderland

A mixed exhibition

17 October - 6 January

Our mixed winter exhibition, Winter Wonderland, is one of the most subscribed of the year with so many of our artists participating. Running until 6 January we have artists dropping off new work right up until early December and on occasion even Christmas week itself.

Georgia Crook is back with her skyboats for the first time since 2023, the sails of these boats all have Georgia’s own designs from a mono print of Mermaids purses, a lovely screen print in autumnal colours and a concertinaed sail using sunart in the tide. Showing her recent practice development we have heather homes and willow nests with her own hand made paper using materials foraged in Loch Tay and Lawers, creating a wonderful sense of place. 

We have some wonderful multiblock linocuts by Babs Pease with foxes, owls, kingfishers and a heron. These linocuts are so detailed and the choices of colours used are stunning.

Jane Drysdale has been developing some gorgeous new autumnal colours for her kiln formed drop bowls as well as some simply amazing fused glass panels of silver birch trees, so perfect for Aberfeldy, set on yew blocks these pieces are absolutely delightful.

From Kit Strathairn we have some textile birds, yes, the ones that were such a hit at Fortingall Art! There is also a glorious long textile seascape “Lost” featuring some spectacular textile work, to truly appreciate this piece you do really have to see it up close…

From Chris Morgan we have some new quirky lights in the form of an antique fire extinguisher standard lamp, a Remington typewriter, a cinecamera and a military blow torch. These pieces are very unique and would be perfect as the one to finally set off 'that' room perfectly. We also have a couple of new bottle lamps, Titan Rum and Inventors Gin, these are beautiful bottles and the lights bring the bottles to life.

On top of these returning artists we have all our gallery favourites like Seatree Argyll ceramics, Lorna Radbourne stained and painted glass and acrylics, Rochelle McConnachie’s acrylics, my own textiles and new selection of lampshades, Lynn Shilp’s fused glass, Jacquie Clark’s ceramics, Fiona Haddows landscapes of Scotland, Robert Ryan’s mixed media, Archie McDonald’s Arts and Crafts clocks and mirrors and so much more. Its impossible to describe every item so do come along and enjoy the eclectic and quirky collection in our light and airy space.
