There are two dates available for this workshop: Sunday 11 May, 10am - 4pmSunday 18 May, 10am - 4pmAs we approach the lighter days of the year, we’ll take inspiration in this workshop from the ancient Gaelic sun festival of Beltane. Beltane was traditionally celebrated on the first of May. This festival marked the beginning of summer, and welcomed warmth back into the world. Working alongside printmakerAbbie Loislearn how to carve intricate Lino blocks with traditional tools and print beautiful repeated patterns. Participants will use the block printed papers to make covers for an A6 Coptic Bound book with bookbinder Kerry Douglas who will teach you how to hand sew and bind a wonderful lay-flat notebook/sketchbook. Inspiration material for the class will be provided, along with some lore about this festival for you to listen to! Although the day will be inspired by this Gaelic festival, you are of course welcome to be inspired by whatever you’d like for your book, and we encourage you to bring your own reference material for inspiration if you wish.

We came here on a spontaneous visit one Sunday afternoon in January and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our wee boy loved seeing the &ldquo;old fashioned house&rdquo; and was so well looked after by all the staff, from the cash register to the flat and back out again.

We went round twice (with a shift change between visits!) and the insight into one story of no doubt thousands like it in Glasgow was fantastic. Plus our boy thoroughly enjoyed colouring in his wallie dug. A hidden gem that is well worth the wander through Garnethill.

It is a dream castle. When I arrived, it was the April holiday, there were almost no people on the road, only the old buildings stood in the cold air, solemn and heavy, which was awe-inspiring.

George Square

George Square is located in the heart of Glasgow, and it is very convenient to take a train or subway. You can sunbathe in the square on a good day. Near the famous store street, you can buy hand letters, clothes, shoes and socks. There are also many restaurants to choose from. George Square is a must-see attraction. In addition to admiring the architecture of the square; at different festivals, such as Christmas, the square will be transformed into a mobile playground full of dynamic and happy atmosphere.
