Daily sketchbook page using collage. I spent a good part of the day hanging a group exhibition with friends in the Harbour Cottage Gallery, Kirkcudbright. On for 2 weeks if you are close enough to come and take a look. I will take some photos to show here. #dailysketchbook #dailycollage #collage #kirkcudbright #scotland #dumfriesandgalloway #artexhibition #scotlandsarttown

Had a very happy morning at the #Kirkcudbright Dark Space Planetarium this week. A fab interactive exhibit plus a gorgeous immersive experience in the planetarium. It's so unique to have such a state-of-the-art science centre in this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 rural setting, and the team there are just awesome. #scicomm 🔭
