Summer Party 2014

The Whisky Bond’s second annual Summer Party took place on the 30th of August.  There was a fantastic turn out for the event which hosted free workshops and creative activities led by tenants and friends of The Whisky Bond.

These included a micro hack event and screening in the Distillery by CycleHack which encouraged guests to think about the barriers to cycling in a city and come up with innovative solutions, then take their ideas to the next stage by creating prototypes & samples.

Depot Arts set up a Teepee in the garden where kids of all ages go to try out a variety of printing styles including block printing, stamping and stencilling.

Following on from their successful Design Dinner, Show Me Yours were back to ask more questions. Outside in The Whisky Bond’s container, the team encouraged guests to join in a communal drawing experience as well as leave notes on their insider knowledge wall.

Siobhan Healy allowed guests to try their hand at glass blowing in the Glasgow Sculpture Studios.

Flux welcomed people to drop into their studio for demos in CNC and laser cutting. They also created over-sized Connect 4 for the garden.

Guests got to take a trip on GSS’s Creative Cargo barge in the late afternoon sun.

Piece cooked up some delights on a custom made barbecue made by GSS.

Hausfrau gave a wonderful vocal performance in the GSS gallery space accompanied by visuals from exhibiting artist Natalie McGowana’s response to Mood is Made, Temperature is Taken.

Night of the Jaguar and Duncan Ballantyne (Tiger’s Milk Records) played tropical records downstairs and ensured guests stuck around to dance the night away.
