You could secure a cracker of a present for a friend or loved one courtesy of the Auld Kirk Museum in Kirkintilloch.
The popular Christmas Art & Craft exhibition is back between Saturday 4 November and 20 December 2023.
This year’s guest artist is Denise Chateau-Loney. Denise, who lives and works in Milngavie, is a botanical artist and bookbinder, working with eco printing and watercolours.
As always, there will be an interesting range of handmade artwork, jewellery, ceramics, soaps, candles, woodwork, and glass and textile crafts on show, sourced locally and nationally – including a selection box of potential gift ideas.
Councillor Jim Gibbons, Chair of East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture Trust – which operates the Auld Kirk Museum, said, "The festive exhibition at the Auld Kirk is traditionally very popular, offering people a gift-wrapped opportunity to browse a range of wonderful works and crafts, and perhaps pick up a unique present.
"Thanks to all the skilled crafters, makers and artists who have contributed this year. If you're shopping or enjoying lunch, dinner or a cuppa in Kirkintilloch, why not pop in and have a look?"
The exhibition begins on Saturday 4 November, with the official opening taking place at 2.30pm. All welcome.
The Auld Kirk Museum – Cowgate, Kirkintilloch G66 1HN – is open every week, Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am-1pm and 2-5pm. Free entry. For more venue information call 0141 777 3013 or visit the Auld Kirk Museum webpage (link opens in new window).
