Grantown Open Studios is back for a second year, starting on Friday and running to Monday, and allowing you a glimpse inside the studios of local artists.
Our resident artist and co-owner Angus Grant Art will be in his painting studio to chat about his work, which is strongly influenced by his life in the Cairngorms National Park.
As a quick introduction for our newer followers, Angus is a craftsman, painter and teacher, whose work features the lochs, mountains and wildlife of the area. His paintings are occupied with the dynamic interplay of light across these landscapes, reflecting the ever-changing environment of the Cairngorms.
Angus studied art at Central St Martins School of Art, before studying jewellery design at Middlesex University. Here, he specialised in Japanese-style carving and acrylic. He taught Western Jewellery Design at the National Institute of Jewellery Design in Gujarat. After graduation, he worked as a production jeweller for jewellery designer Kirt Holmes in London.
In his studio (which you can see by peeking through the windows from the High Street!), you can see his work in progress and learn about some of the tools he uses, including his trusty airbrush.
* Grantown Open Studios runs from May 1-4, supported by the Grantown Business Association ( Grantown ), with funding from the Cairngorms Trust , Cairngorms National Park and Berry Burn Community Fund .
