The Mafia is hitting the road again this coming Friday, 5 March. Find us (and Clyde, our horse’s head lovingly handcrafted in felt and haberdashery) at the Glasgow Hunterian Museum of Art, over at the University of Glasgow, from 11am to 3pm.

With appearances already confirmed from Asking For Trouble, Lucy Jackson Designs and Kuro-e, and more to come, this is shaping up to be a great day out.

If you haven’t been to the Hunterian Museum or Gallery before, this is an ideal time to visit. A stone’s throw from Byres Road, the gallery currently features visiting exhibitions of the Polish national collection of craftsmanship with Amber, and a look at the Italian Renaissance featuring the works of Durer.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
