The Cat's Moustache - Creetown
The Cat's Moustache arts and crafts gallery, newly opened in Easter 2004, is located at 54 St John's Street in the conservation village of Creetown, just off the A75.
The Gallery is quickly gaining a reputation for the inspiring range of works on display and for its overall style and presentation.
The philosophy behind the gallery is to create an outlet which sells quality arts and crafts in a very accessible way, created through attention to detail and exemplary customer service. We aim to promote an appreciation of arts and crafts and to encourage contemporary and traditional arts, crafts and designs. The Gallery prides itself on its modern ambience and decor and its range of original excellent quality handmade works by well known local artists and craftspeople.
The Cat's Moustache also displays ranges of exciting and unique handcrafted works by national and international artisans, some of whose work is not readily available in Scotland. The arts on display and for sale include ceramics (porcelain, pottery and raku) glass, wood, enamelling, jewellery, letter-cutting, calligraphy and textiles. We also have an interesting and varied range of paintings in various mediums including oils, water-colours and silk painting. The Gallery also stocks a selection of handmade original toiletries.
Throughout this year, The Cat's Moustache Gallery holds a regular series of exhibitions by artists and craftspeople, to promote artistic talent from the Dumfries and Galloway region.
