News & Events

The big summer exhibition of our members’ work closed last week, and what an exhibition it has been. Pulling out the stops for the Golden Jubilee year, the exhibition opened at the end of June with a special preview evening and ended on 1^st August with the prize draw. Many visitors came through the doors and admired the display and range of items on offer.

This year the first prize Orkney chair is going to Shetland. Other prizes were collected on the day or will be posted this week to the lucky recipients.  Congratulations to you all.
