In this session we will explore the importance of fashion in portraiture. We will take a closer look at some fascinating outfits and learn about the history of fashion in Scotland. This session will be a relaxed and informal guided tour with refreshments for anyone affected by dementia and their relatives, friends and supporters. Led by our team of friendly artists, it’s a chance to socialise, talk about artworks and enjoy art activities together.
