Maps the world

As New Year’s Eve approaches, we are meeting a lot of travellers in the gallery and every voyage needs a good map!

One of our newest into the gallery is a screenprint by Kate and the Ink.  The print comes with a needle and thread so you can embroider your very own “X” to mark where your heart lies.

We also have this beautiful Wildlife map of the UK by Kate Mclelland and a sister Wildlife Map of Scotland.Kate’s collection of maps also includes a map of Islay, showing the many famous distilleries found on the island.  Another favourite of ours, is Alice Tait’s World Map, it’s a colourful and cheerful reminder of beautiful the wildlife and architecture found across the world.Alice also has a range of city maps including Paris, Rome and others you can view here. We have also had this amazing print of the UK Shipping Areas framed in the gallery recently, and it’s been brilliant hearing stories from people living all over the world that listen to the Shipping Forecast every night.

Where ever you are spending this Hogmany, we hope you enjoy seeing in 2016 with style and look forward to catching up with you in 2016.  We have some great exhibitions and events planned here in Edinburgh already

With the last weekend before Christmas about to hit, We thought we’d share with you one last collection of inspiration. Take a little helping hand with Lindsey’s Christmas Gift Guide, for those difficult to buy for loved ones.

With everything from Fun Gifts for Kids to lots of ideas for her Favourite Girls in her life, we’re pretty sure you’ll find some inspiration in her gift collection.

Clockwork Soldiers collection of Superhero Dress up and Design your own Comic book have been firm favourites this year. I know quite a few adults who wouldn’t mind finding this under the christmas tree. A great gift for the creative kids in your life.

You can never have too many cute purses, and we have lots of  purses to match your outfit no matter what your style is. Why not treat your favourite girl to one of these Screen Printed Card Purses? Each one is hand screen printed and made locally by SodaKitsch.

The ever popular Kate Sheridan range is never going to disappoint. We love this geometric heavy canvas purse. Many other styles available in her range.

A beautiful laser etched bear clock by the ever talented Kirsty Baynham is sure to be a hit. He’s just one of four laser etched clocks in her collection.

Allotment by Mina Braun is the perfect gift for those with Green Fingers. A four colour screen print it’s a true beauty and a brand new piece in Mina’s collection.
