WE did have fun dressed up in mediaeval garb for the opening night of NEOS at Hallgreen Castle. You can always spot the artists in the Great Hall when you come up to view our work – we will be here until Sunday 17th!

Thanks for all the fun Dundee Fun A Day!
(It all started off on Hogmanay when somebody handed me a strange object and asked – “What can you do with this? Take it away and have a go!” So my Funaday project was finding out what I could do with a six foot shed skin from a boa constrictor!)
If you want to see what I did come along to the FunADay Exhibition this weekend.
It’s in WASP studios, Meadowmill, West Henderson Wynd, Dundee. The opening night is on Friday 10 February from 7 – 9pm. The Exhibition runs from 10.00am – 7.00pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Here are some photographs I took of the fun I had during the month.
