Invite: MERLODRAMA!

Offline are proud to present MERLODRAMA! – a weekend dedicated to the enigmatic 1930s film star Merle Oberon.

Featuring screenings, workshops and discussions, Merlodrama takes place between 5 – 7 December 2025 at The Deep End.

Festive Printmaking Workshop at SPOT Design Market

Join artist and illustrator Lindsay Grime for a workshop exploring DIY drypoint etching. This is a fun and accessible printmaking technique which uses found materials – Tetrapaks and a pasta machine – to produce genuine drypoint prints. The low-cost/recycled nature of it means it is something you can recreate at home, which is unusual as printmaking often requires access to specialist equipment. In this two-hour workshop you’ll get to grips with the technique and produce unique festive cards or prints!

There are two workshops running on Saturday 13 December as part of Spot Design Market (full of independent makers, great for a browse!) at Pollokshaws Burgh Hall: 11.15am – 1.15pm & 2pm – 4pm.

Exhibition Invite: My Heritage for Sale

16 – 19 December

SaltSpace Gallery, 38 Albert Road, G42 8DN

Creative Glasgow member, Romina Frohar, is delighted to invite fellow members along to their upcoming exhibition. My Heritage for Sale transforms SaltSpace Gallery into a small shop where commemorative objects – postcards, scarves, ornaments, calendars, photos, and storybooks – stand in for two missing artifacts from Iran’s Pearl Palace: a teacup and a teaspoon once held at the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. By restaging these absent objects as limited editions available for purchase, the exhibition turns acts of exchange and gifting into gestures of remembrance. Drawing on traditions of craft and ritual, My Heritage for Sale reclaims the intimate, handmade, and sentimental as political terrains. Through irony and care, the project makes visible how heritage is not only preserved in institutions but also carried in the gestures of those who refuse to forget.
