Current Exhibitions

The image above is from WonderStore 2 a group exhibition at Methil Heritage Centre, my works are on the wall on the left hand side. Before hanging the show the last time I was in this particular area was when the Buckhaven High School orchestra played for Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh at the docks – they came to officially open the Methil Sea and Royal Marine Cadets (TS Ajax) facility in 1982!

The Wonder Store was a marvellous Johnny a’thing emporium in Methil where you could buy anything from a three-piece suite to jam pot covers, it thrived in the early ‘70s.

Fife ContemporaryCraft Pods tour 

25 June – 28 July 2026

Fife College, Carnegie Conference and Events Centre – Dunfermline
This is the final venue of the tour.

Some information from Fife Contemporary:

‘The Craft Pod display features models and drawings of Marion Smith’s designs for a new public sculpture, as well as information on her ideas and processes for its creation.

The new Dunfermline Learning Campus brings together St Columba’s RC High School, Woodmill High School and Fife College onto one large purpose-built educational hub, where the community can share resources, experiences and learn together. As lead artist of the new public sculpture for the Campus, Marion has been collaborating with DLC students and campus users to generate ideas for the sculpture and think about possible artwork locations. Marion has also been working with local artists to deliver a series of creative workshops to discuss the language, techniques and approaches used in sculpture, and explore meaning, memory and the value of participation in creating public works of art.

While researching the sculpture, Marion has considered the purpose of the campus and has been inspired by Dunfermline and its unique stories and history. During her research for the sculpture designs, she has explored local legends, the local environment, and Dunfermline’s important part in producing modern textiles and linen. The stories and histories she uncovered have led to her creating a selection of designs combining durable materials like stone and cast metal.

The Craft Pod display features models and drawings of Marion’s designs for the new public sculpture, as well as information on her ideas and processes for its creation. There are opportunities for interaction and feedback, which Marion will consider through delivery of the project.’
