Want to dance to some classic disco numbers while watching Ian shake his funky thing?
That’s right- Studio 54 is coming to Castle Douglas!
Well, one out of two ain’t bad. 🙂
Though I have to say
‘the legendary studio became a global epicenter of celebrity culture, uninhibited hedonism, and progressive social mixing’
Would certainly shake things up on king st…..

Not only do we have superb art, we also have a special sweet treat in our tea room this week- Mexican ‘Tres Leches’ cake. Perfect with elevenses.

I'm needing some volunteers to help me test run a photography project!
Are you free on Saturday 2nd May for a couple of hours or so, and can get to Kindar House at the Crichton in Dumfries for 10am?
If so - please read on!
(TL:DR - just message me with a yes)
At Spring Fling this year I'm doing an event called, "Crowd" (Studio 83 on the Orange Route) - where my intention is to create a scene and photograph visitors one or two at a time, standing in different spots.
At the end of the event I will then Photoshop the images together so that it will look like a crowded scene as though they were all there at the same time.
However, the logistics of this are nightmarish to say the least.
So I need to do a test run - create a set in the space, work out the lighting, and of course where people can sit or stand without those in front blocking out those standing further back.
No cash I'm afraid, but there will be tea, coffee, potentially a bit of home baking if I can persuade Maggie and Meg to rustle up something, and of course my undying gratitude!
Please message me if you can come along, or if you have any questions 🙂
Even IF YOU CAN'T come along, could you at least click "like" on this post to nudge the algorithms into showing this to a few more people? Thanks 😊
