Woman´s Hour!

The exhibition at Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue started in July and has been extended as Hannah Frank and I were interviewed for BBC Woman´s Hour recently and the exhibition will run until the programme goes out! more news of dates when I have it...

onwards and upwards

the RGI exhibition was wonderful - we had more than 600 visitors, we had loads of press (the Independent, the Glasgow Herald, the local Scottish evening papers...)

We've just packed up a load of artworks now to take to London for the summer and the autumn: it opens next week at Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue wonderful Etz Chayim gallery and then goes to the London Jewish Cultural Centre for the autumn. And we are currently making plans for the works to go to Boston - and for me and my daughter to follow it to Boston for a few weeks too!

I will be at the private view at Northwood on Thursday 6th: hope to see you there. Let me know if you'd like an invitation...
best wishes

Royal Glasgow Institute show starts tonight

Have spent all this week setting up for the Royal Glasgow Institute Kelly Gallery show - including being interviewed by all kinds of journalists for all kinds of papers who have also photographed and interviewed Auntie Hannah; she is very pleased about all this attention and I think I am definitely working towards my mission of making her into a household name at this stage in her life! i met a musician at the Burns Supper last night at the old people's home auntie Hannah lives in, and he had seen her on TV last year!
there was a fab article in the Independent on Monday - see http://www.hannahfrank.org.uk, click on on line shop, then follow the links at the bottom of the page
and it will be in the List and the Glasgow Herald and the Evening Times this week.
preview tonight
opening on Saturday
it's all go!

Midwinter news

The Hannah Frank project moves inexorably forward, and my aunt is very happy that she is definitely going to be 'leaving footsteps on the sands of time'!

Lots of projects are on the go, not least, a wonderful new 'webshop' that has been set up linked to the main Hannah Frank site http://www.hannahfrank.org.uk Fiona Fahlin from Redpebble Web Solutions has created a great new SHOP where Hannah Frank fans can send a free Hannah Frank e-card as well as buy prints and cards, and order sculpture recasts.

I've done talks at Glasgow Limmud (a Jewish cultural festival) and at Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, to start a new show at the Riverside Gallery in Inverness. And what a beautiful city it was, if I may say so.

Now all is gearing up for the Hannah Frank major retrospective exhibition at the Royal Glasgow Institute Kelly Gallery in Glasgow, from 28th Jan to 11th Feb. I have a series of speakers booked - Peter Trowles, Mackintosh curator at the Glasgow School of Art, on 'Women at the Glasgow School of Art, from Jessie King to Hannah Frank' - Lesley Richmond from Glasgow University Archives putting Hannah Frank in context at Glasgow Uni in the 1920s: and Ann Marie Foster, a practising artist and teacher who'll be running sketching workshops for adults and children.

Ann Marie and I are also setting up a series of Hannah Frank Multi-Media Art Days for schools and are interested to hear from anyone who'd like one!
