Situated in the undercroft of the family home in Gourock and overflowed into the garden overlooking the Clyde Estuary, as does the Wyllieum.

We titled our community making space “The Upstairs Basement” in tribute.

As well as being a making space, the Upstairs Basement features a rolling exhibition programme.
