North West Branch invitation, 19 October 2011

Post by Louise Hay »

Unmissable Opportunity!

Venue: Slater Harrison & Co, Lowerhouse Mills, Bollington, Macclesfield, Cheshire SK10 5HW

Slater Harrison, makers of Colourmount, have kindly offered to host a North West Branch Event at their mill in Bollington, near Macclesfield. Paul Bowden and Irene McIver of the Slater Harrison team will give us a factory tour, from raw materials, through manufacture on a live production line, to stock and despatch, to be followed by a short presentation on product planning and marketing. We will be joined by the Master of the Guild, Maxwell Roberts.

This is a unique opportunity to watch your Colourmount boards being made - truly an event not to be missed.

The meeting will be from 6pm for a 6.30pm start. Following the tour the group will repair to the Vale Inn, Bollington where Slater Harrison has kindly laid on a light supper. Guests will be invited to take part in a lively discussion on how the art and framing industry markets itself. If you are unable to make the factory tour you are welcome to join us for industry discussions and socialising at the pub. On this occasion attendance will be free of charge for all guests, but come prepared to buy your own drinks - the pub offers a fantastic range of local ales from the Bollington Brewery.

To book a place, please telephone Jaime at the Fine Art Trade Guild office on 020 7381 6616 or email jaime@fineart.co.uk no later than Friday 14 October 2011.
