Explore Sauchiehall Street’s history of nightlife in a relaxed, creative collaging workshop with Anna Shankie and Aimee Lowee. Sauchiehall Street was once famed for its nightlife and music venues - spaces which have shaped social life in Glasgow. In this workshop, we will explore materials from the Mitchell Library’s Special Collection and discuss the history of venues loved - and those lost - linking memories with social history of music, spectacle and nights out in Glasgow. During the workshop, you will be invited to add to a collective collage using archival, found imagery and prompts to create speculative visions for what Sauchiehall Street’s future nightlife. You will be invited to share your own memories of nights out - clubs, gigs, performances, and moments of gathering - whilst our hands are busy making. This is a free event, but booking is required to help us keep an eye on numbers. If you have any access needs or any questions, please email: [email protected].

Join researchers Esther Draycott and Mairi MacKenzie for a drop in workshop about the personal style of all Glaswegians - present and past. While Glasgow style is a term usually associated with Charles Rennie Mackintosh, it also informally refers to a phenomenon manifest in the people of Glasgow. Style is present in almost every aspect of culture in Glasgow, a city with a distinct vernacular of dress, language and gesture that is present in all aspects of everyday life. It is a phenomenon shaped by the city’s legacies of labour, migration, resistance and loss, imbuing the choices and routines of Glaswegians with traces of a long, rich history of creative expression. While there is evidence of the cultural importance of style in Glasgow - see the city’s 2004 ‘Glasgow: Scotland with Style’ campaign - there has been no formal investigation into the roots of that significance nor how it might operate as a tool of civic pride and regeneration. You are invited to join us to discuss your own history of style in Glasgow and to bring any objects that represent or document what Glasgow style means to you. The material you might want to bring along include (but are not limited to): Photographs Letters Newspaper clippings Clothing Memorabilia Magazines Company brochures Catalogues Domestic objects Videos/film clips Novels Memoirs Posters It is not necessary to bring any of these objects to attend the session, but bringing along items will help Esther and Mairi with their research and steps towards developing a style archive for Glasgow! Free event - All welcome! Just drop in. Supported by the Sauchiehall Street Culture and Heritage District and Glasgow School of Art. ette is Esther Draycott and Mairi MacKenzie.

Join facilitators Erin and Chris for an arts and writing workshop, inspired by Sauchiehall Street and the female artists who worked there! Countless male artists, such as Alasdair Gray and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, are noted for their contributions to Glasgow, but there have been many female artists who have had successful practices. From Chica MacNab, Alison McKenzie and Carleton Smyth, to Margaret and Frances MacDonald - many female artists also trained in the area and produced ground-breaking works. In this workshop, you will be invited to explore your experiences of the street through a short writing workshop. After the writing exercise, you'll be invited to illustrate your memories in the style of female Glasgow artists - use techniques like watercolor painting, printmaking, and fabric collaging to help you bring your stories to life!
