I just thought I would let members know that you can purchase a box of 100 pairs of  disposable gloves for just under £5.00 from Gloves for Less dot com.  That price  includes V.A.T. and delivery costs.
I think it's an extremely good deal.  Prior to this I found I was having to pay on average. about £8.00.

 

FDPW Members exhibiting

Exhibiting at The Line Gallery in Linlithgow from October 1st to the 25th are our very own Susan Smith who I believe lives over that way , Catherine King, Sheila Carnduff and Clare Yarrington.  I really like their web set up .  Very personal and just friendly.  It is peculiar because I used to live in Linlithgow when we first landed in Scotland and had not really been aware of this gallery.

Perth Open Studios - up Milnathort way

JANE MATTHEWS

Once Jane had returned from holidaying in Norway recently  (where she used to live for a  few years) she made it her business to immediately commence  working at FDPW,  on relief prints in preparation for the Perth Visual Artists Open Studios. Lots of experimentation starting with shells and then moving on to boats.  Her studio is in Milnathort.

 
THORA CLYNE

Thora has been working on relief prints and woodcuts in the past few months but will no doubt also  have paintings on show.  I cant help but suspect that 'feline beings' may well feature in her imagery.
