Paisley & District U3A Talks: Christmas Treat For Mackintosh Lovers
Lovers of Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh are in for a treat at Paisley & District u3a's Christmas meeting on Thursday 1st December!
About Paisley & District U3A Talks: Christmas Treat For Mackintosh Lovers
Artist and tour guide, James Winnett, will provide a festive insight into the life and work of this celebrated Glasgow figure. The public are welcome to attend this free talk at the Salvation Army Hall, Mill Street, Paisley PA1 1ND on Thursday 1 December at 2pm. Doors open 1.30pm for seasonal refreshments.
u3a chair, Kathy O’Donnell said: “There is a huge interest in buildings designed in the Art Nouveau style. Paisley has many iconic landmarks and the town now has a Four Paisley Architects Walking Trail. While none of these were created by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, he served as an apprentice to the Paisley-born architect John Hutchison.
“In 2019, our Art Appreciation Group enjoyed a guided tour of a House for an Art Lover, and a lovely lunch. Now more members have expressed an interest in paying a visit.”
Guest speaker James Winnett said: “My talk will include a selection of Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s most accomplished artistic and architectural works. I particularly want to focus on his 1901 designs for a House for an Art Lover. His designs appear timeless.”
