 George Bain and the Nigg Cross-slab

Workshop led by Susan Seright

Nigg Hall 2.30pm-4.00pm followed by tea.

On Saturday May 18th, in Nigg Village Hall from 2.30 - 4.00 pm , Susan Seright will hold a workshop on George Bain 'the father of Celtic Modern design', setting in context his work on the Nigg cross-slab, from which he drew many examples. Susan is the acknowledged authority on Bain's work. She will be joined by Burgess and Fiona Hay who will demonstrate how to create simple interlace designs using Bain's techniques - a skill which could be used to decorate cards of all kinds. Pads and pencils will be provided. Refreshments to follow. By courtesy of Groam House Museum a small selection of items taken from their extensive collection of Bain's work will be on display.
