PwC Panto - Treasure Island

Maria Campbell1 Comment

That’s my involvement in PwC Panto done for another year so I’m awaiting the inevitable Panto Blues. This is the third year that I have been involved and I’m still blown away by the sheer talent and dedication of 200 PwC staff and alumni. It really is an amazing production with staff creating all aspects of the show - script, directing,choreography, sets, wardrobe, acting, props and of course, my favourite, makeup! I believe we also need to recognise the impact that it has on our families. Without Cliff running the show at home there’s no way that I could be involved. 😘

Every year #pwcpanto gives away over 8000 tickets to inner city schools and communitity groups, who otherwise would not have a chance to see live theatre. I’m delighted to have been part of the hair and make up team again this year and leave you with a few images of my involvement - Billy Bones (with an amazing East Kilbride accent 😂), Pew, Sandra (and Barb 🤣), Island Chief and of course Cedric the Octopus.  What an absolute honour and privilege to be involved in bringing the octopus in the costume design of our school competition winners to life.

For those of you on tour to Nottingham, have fun and break a leg! I’m off to sort out my hundreds of photos and videos…

Completed Art Studio

Maria CampbellComment

I arrived home tonight, following a week in London, to a finished art studio - yipppppeeeee! To say I’m excited doesn’t really cover it. Cliff has worked his wee bottom off to get it finished and I’m delighted with the result. The floor and workbench are recycled Junkers Beech from Heriot Watt University which was rescued by Hargreaves Reclaimed Flooring following a flood in the gym. I love the quality of the wood and the random patterns and colours created by the various court lines. Now all I need to do is move in, have a studio warming party and get creating! Thanks Cliff. 😘

Dalkeith Arts Autumn Exhibition 2018

Maria CampbellComment

Tonight I handed in my paintings and needlefelting to Riccio Gallery in Dalkeith for the Dalkeith Arts Autumn Exhibition. I was very excited about the variety and quality of work that has been submitted. It is well worth a visit to Riccio’s over the next two weeks. I was delighted to see work from artists that I know - pottery from Yellow Door Studio and some lovely soaps made by the children at The Art Club. I also fell in love with some beautiful autumn glass work and a portrait by Newton. Cliff has offered me a deal - sell one of my paintings and I can buy some art. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
