I am upcycling furniture for my stall at the Urban Market at Drygate in Glasgow. One of the old school chairs that I bought had a patch where the veneer had cracked and lifted. Which means I needed to repair the veneer before painting the chair. After some research online I went looking for my old glue syringes and needles which I knew I had brought with me from Canada. Then I got a piece of wood, and wood glue and clamps.
I used the syringe to squeeze glue under the veneer and clamped it down. Would it work? I removed the clamps and found the veneer firmly back in place, it only needed to be sanded a bit.
Sigh of relief – the chair is ready to be transformed into a colourful focal piece.
This year I’m inviting visitors to my art studio in Kettins near Coupar Angus. During the event I’m sharing the space with visual artist Aileen M Stackhouse. Aileen shows bronze sculptures and work based on her ongoing research project into the history, geology and ecology of the River Ericht. My work includes recent linoprints in B/W and colour, still life paintings, new mixed media drawings and upcycled furniture.
While open, we’ll demonstrate drawing and linoprinting. Please sign up below for my mailing list, if you are interested in taking classes later on!
Directions to my studio and the listing of all other participating studios can be found here.
