Join us for the launch of two Scots zines by Hayley Jane Dawson and Lynsey Gilmour.
Hayley and Lynsey will be reading from their Scots zines, commissioned by Glasgow Zine Library and funded The National Lottery Heritage Fund. There will be zines available to buy on the night and an exhibition of ceramics.
Hayley's zine is a trip doon memory lane - an exploration of Scots language and culture, and how that translates into the process of ceramic making.
Lynsey's zine explores the stories, the people and the landscape of Easter Ross through photography and poetry. The original poems are written in the Scots dialect of Easter Ross, and in Gaelic, and shows how the languages weave together in a call and response across the communities of the Easter Ross Penninsula.
