Hugh's final touches to Local Types

Hugh at work

Hugh Bryden is putting the finishing touches to the Local Types exhibition this week. Thomas Tosh customers have been leaving  suggestions of nicknames to be added to the wall over the past few weeks. Hugh will be putting the last of these up. And this coming Saturday (30th June), he'll be launching the pamphlet of the exhibition. It's filled with his great visualisations of nicknames, and will be a memento once the exhibition disappears forever after the 14th July. The pamphlet launch is at 3pm.
