| Clock by Tom Goff |
Tom, who now lives in Moffat, trained as a
welder, but his mother was a sculptor, so blood will out! His artwork, inspired
by William Morris and other luminaries in the Arts and Crafts movement,
includes metalwork in the form of hanging ornaments, jewellery, mirrors, ornate
kitchen racks and lampshades. He works
in copper, brass and stainless steel, often with glass incorporated.
In this exhibition he will be showing a
selection of unique, hand-crafted clocks and mirrors made from oak and ash,
with hand-beaten copper and brass decoration.
Originally from Merseyside, Tom has exhibited
in Wirral and Liverpool. His work was chosen for the Spring 2008 Exhibition at
the Williamson Art Gallery, and he also exhibited and sold in Chester at the
WildArtExpo at Bonhams in 2008. He currently has work in galleries in Biggar,
Dumfries, Moffat and Peebles.

| Images of Scotland, Past and Present by Noelle Stevenson |
Also on show will be a selection of original
paintings on silk, by Sanquhar artist Noelle Stevenson. Noelle has exhibited widely, both here and
overseas. She has taken an ancient art
form and given it a personal interpretation, by painting straight on to the
silk and controlling the flow of paint. In her paintings she seeks to capture the essence of the silk
itself with its nuances of texture and subtle sheens. She is inspired by natural images, both real
and imaginary. She also paints in watercolour and will be showing some examples
of her work in this medium.
The exhibition runs until 6 May.
