Rolf Harris at The Cornerstone Gallery

Rolf Harris’s recent appearance at the Cornerstone Gallery when he officially opened the ‘Curwen at Studio at 50’ Exhibition was a great success and a very entertaining event.

Its not often an art exhibition is opened by the audience joining in a sing-along with a celebrity but Rolf had everyone in good voice and he was joined by his long term friend and photographer Mike McCartney of the Scaffold. Rolf was also joined on the night by Alan Powers, author of Art and Print: The Curwen Story published by Tate publishing which you can also buy at the gallery.

A week later Mike McCartney returned to the Cornerstone to give a guest talk about his work and his involvement with the Curwen Studio. This was followed by a print workshop led by Tom Martin, master printer with the Curwen Studio. Mike McCartney’s latest Book ‘MML: Mike McCartneys Liverpool Life’ is also available to buy from the Gallery.
