I haven't been here much as it has been a pretty intense couple of months and after the years of planning and dreaming about Welcome Home, a lot of hard work to finally open. The good news is that Welcome Home opened it's doors officially on Monday after a successful Saturday opening night. Now that I am here in the real bricks and mortar space, you will find me in this space more often too. There is a lot of exciting news to share... and for those that haven't already been, get yourselves to 19 Keith Street, Glasgow, G11 6QQ. There are new arrivals everyday at the moment and a lot of beautiful pieces in the debut show + BLOOM +. It's not to be missed!
Last night there was a little opening for Welcome Home's November resident designers Eleanor Young and Hamish Bigg of b+y design. It has been interesting having the studio space used as a workshop the past few weeks and it was nice to see the results of their labour...
When I was little I was only allowed sweets on a Saturday which probably explains why I can't get enough now... Anyway they would have been even more special if they had come in these - Nat Thakur's sweet shop bags and purses, now available to buy in the shop. Go on, Saturday's the day for treats!
Welcome Home is very pleased to have Hamish Bigg and Eleanor Young of b+y design as its November resident designers. They are currently working away in the studio, but there will be more info soon on events, exhibition openings and talks happening this month. They've got some exciting plans!
The website and online shop will be ready for browsers and buyers by the weekend. Good things come to those who wait...
I will be sharing the photos from last Saturday's opening night soon, just working on the website, but watch this space, there's lots to come! Thanks to Dan Farrar for the photography.
