Art Workshops in the Patrons Gallery 2025

The Maclaurin Gallery • February 17, 2025

Heading into Spring, we are hosting a variety of art workshops in the Patrons Gallery, over the next few weeks.


We have already kicked this off with a fabulous Pastel Workshop by Gregory Moore, Artist and Printmaker in February. We didn’t even get a chance to advertise this on our social media pages, before the 2 days were booked up!


Similarly, Angela Ortenzi-MacColl has already proved a big success, with another of her collage workshops coming up on 22nd February (no spaces left!).


Next on the agenda is Sue Howat from Sixpenny Studio, who will be teaching her interesting watercolour and Indian ink resist technique. There are 2 date options for this workshop, Tuesday 4 March and Saturday 8 March 2025.


Anyone interested should register directly with Dianne Gardner (Maclaurin Trust): dianneagardner@gmail.com


Further workshops will appear, just keep your eyes on our social media pages - Facebook and Instagram, where the latest up to date information will be advertised.

Meet the Artist - Ayr Sketch Club

By The Maclaurin Gallery • February 18, 2025
The first exhibition of the year is Ayr Sketch Club's Annual Exhibition. It's always a popular event with a wide range of Ayrshire based artists. We hosted a ‘Meet the Artists’ event midway through their exhibition as, sadly, their scheduled exhibition launch was cancelled due to storm Eowyn. What a great afternoon it was, bustling with artists and visitors! This exhibition continues until the end of March.
