Catalogues for our work
My year spent on the Professional Development course, at Paintbox School of Art, Cockenzie was intense, fast-paced, fun, stretching and worth every minute! Our end of year show happened almost six months ago and I’m still catching my breath whenever I think back on it. I wanted to share a few photos from the exhibition held at the former Ladies Baths at the historic Dovecot in the heart of Edinbugh old town.

The place was buzzing on the opening evening – a terrific atmosphere and a great sense of accomplishment.
