This exhibition presents the art and influence of the Scottish Colourists centred on masterpieces from the renowned Fleming Collection, the finest collection of Scottish art outside public museums and institutions.

The dictionary defines alchemy as the process of taking something ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary.

Prior to the advent of computers, drawings of woven textile pattern were translated by craftsmen onto special graph paper called point papers. These detailed drawings were then read by textile technicians, who cut the weaving instruction cards that were to be placed onto the looms. ‘Patterns from the Past’ shows a selection of designs of this now historical textile craft.

Centred on masterpieces from the renowned Fleming Collection, the finest collection of Scottish art outside public museums and institutions this exhibition explores not only the ground-breaking artistic achievements of the Scottish Colourists, but for the first time we are also addressing their influence on subsequent generations of Scottish artists and lasting impact on modern British art. Please note from 1 Nov opening hours are 10:30 – 4:00pm

Puccini’s opera of young love in 19th-century Paris is packed with beautiful music, including lyrical arias, celebratory choruses for Act II’s evocation of Christmas Eve in the Latin Quarter and a poignant final scene over which the composer himself wept. Richard Jones’s character-led production perfectly captures La bohème’s mixture of comedy, romance and tragedy, with striking designs by Stewart Laing

Exploring the stillness and the motion in water and earth as two elements present not only in nature but in ourselves. With this work Elisa shows the constant interaction between the quietness and movement in emotions, memories, thoughts and other events we experience every single moment. This insight takes the form of Landscapes and Seascape which is embodied in her whole process of, “Where what is seen outside and felt inside merge in a painting”

This new exhibition of Andrew Burns Colwill’s is subtle, reflective, not obvious – a viewer has to work at his painting and is rewarded with hidden insights, environmental, political and social commentary and humour.

The landscape in which we live, meet and work is a northern landscape largely shaped by cloth. Distinctive weavers cottages line the canals and perch on hillsides, tall mill chimneys dominate the valleys. We meet in a grand and richly furnished manor house created by mill owners, exhibit and seek inspiration and materials at converted mills in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria. Some of us have mill workers in our ancestry, weaving in our memories and in our blood.
