WJ Henderson started work as an apprentice draughtsman/engineer, age 14 in 1935, at Hall Russell Ship Building Yard Aberdeen and worked there in pivotal roles till he retired at 65. He and his wife, Anne, devoted their lives to raising and supporting their four children, Brian, Anne, Gail and David and their subsequent families.
One of the special threads running strongly through the family, is an innate creativity that has manifested itself in their choice of studies, careers and personal pursuits in the visual arts.
This creative legacy is by no means unique to the Hendersons, but it has acted as a catalyst to hosting an exhibition which celebrates the result.
This opportunity serves to pull together a visual record of pieces created by our family, for some personal reasons, but mainly as a social insight into what links any family together through the generations.

Saturday 12th November 2011: Preview of work by Lisa O’Brien at Left Bank, Tarland
Lisa O’Brien
Saturday 12th November 2011
Preview 6pm – 8pm
Lisa O’Brien lives and works in Wester Ross on the west coast of Scotland.
Two years ago Lisa had a residency at Left Bank and we are delighted to welcome her back.
Lisa has been developing her work at the Highland print studio in Inverness and has a particular interest in photogravure technique. This is where a polymer plate is coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue and is then exposed to a film positive. This is made into a high quality plate that can reproduce the detail and continuous tones of a photograph.
On show will be a collection of atmospheric photogravure prints on BFK Rives Grey paper
and archival digital inkjet prints on Somerset fine art paper.

Harrup has spent the last month at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop developing the use of a bronze age mould making technique which utilises clay, sand and horse dung to create a unique material for firing.
This traditional method is predominantly used as an in-between material that holds a temporary negative for casting, although Harrup has reversed this technique allowing this to become the finished work itself. His work has been influenced by an interest in the architecture of the unseen, with works such as Gordon Matta Clark’s conical intersect and the ancient underground cities of Cappadocia, Turkey playing a major role in the development of his practice.
Tom graduated from the MFA course at Glasgow School of Art in 2010 and has continued his practice at the Glasgow Sculpture Studios.
