Welcome Home's countdown to Christmas - day 1

I haven't had time to make the amazing advent calendar that I had planned - honestly, it was going to be so good! Ah, I guess there is always next year... Anyway, I will be sharing an image each day in this virtual one instead. Today I have for you a beautiful corsage brooch by A Alicia available here.

prints charming

Welcome Home is after your prints for next month's show - Prints Charming will be on for just over 2 weeks, 10th-24th December with a private view on the 9th. The prints can be any kind and size although no bigger than A2, they just need to sell for £20 or under, you can put in up to 10 pieces. The idea is that people can buy affordable art work as a Christmas gift. Some prints will be on the walls and some will be on sideboards and shelves so please send any work in protective clear plastic sleeves preferably with a piece of card behind. I will send any unsold pieces back to you at the beginning of January with payment for any sold work (60% of the retail price). If you would like to submit any work to this exhibition please email Mhari with images, details and your info by Tuesday 1st December - hello@welcomehomestore.co.uk

b+y design - on balance

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...

Central Station Launch

This Saturday at 5pm Welcome Home will be having the Central Station folk round for a visit. You can join them, myself and Eleanor Young for a tour, some talking and treats here at Welcome Home, 19 Keith Street, Glasgow, G11 6QQ. There will also be the chance to see a preview of b+y design's exhibition and work in progress. Central Station are organising some great events this weekend, make a date and get involved!

sweets on a Saturday...

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!

day two of residency

on the old interweb...

There are a few final tweaks to be made and some bits and pieces to add but the website is finally live and you can now shop from the comfort of your own homes if you can't make it to this welcome one!

and so it begins - day one of residency

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!
