Now in its fifth year, The Park Gallery’s Winter Warmth exhibition is focusing on textile design, in all its forms.

Taking place in The Park Gallery and Callendar House in Falkirk, Winter Warmth will highlight contemporary textile design and the original and innovative use of textile materials and techniques in all areas of applied arts and crafts.

A unique and tantalising array of work will be on show from sixty artists from the UK and beyond including  Glasgow Craft Mafia member Miso Funky.

It’s on right now until the end of the year so get yourself over for a visit.

Congratulations to GCM member Sarah for the launch of her new magazine The Coveted! You’ll have seen Sarah at our markets as Pistol Whip Vintage and she’s now turned her hand to writing about Scottish fashion and independent designers. Issue 1 is free to read online so what are you waiting for – go have a read!

Mafia member Sarah of Pistol Whip Vintage fame will be launching her new venture this Thursday 1st October. The Coveted is a magazine which celebrates the Scottish Fashion Industry whilst supporting and promoting existing and emerging talent. It promises to bring you cutting edge fashion talent from designers, illustrators, models, photographers, bloggers, writers and more without resorting to stale stereotypes. We can vouch for Sarah being very passionate about Scottish fashion, she really knows her stuff !

The magazine will be available in an extended edition online as a downloadable pdf from the site and will also have a small print run here in Scotland. They are also looking to recruit people interested in fashion to submit images, articles, reviews, blog posts, tutorials etc. You can also help support this new venture by advertising with the magazine.

The blog is already live so for more information, check out the site below:
