Tie-Can-Do Night - sale of 78 artist designed silk ties

Fri 31 October 2008 7:30 - 9:00 PM Free

Thai beer, Thai canapes and silk ties! The launch of a unique collection of artist designed silk ties - on sale until 10 November. When Watermill co-owner Kevin Ramage entered the world of bookselling one of his motivations was to end the tyranny of having to wear a tie for work. So while Kevin was away on a recent climbing trip Jayne bought seventy eight boxed silk ties - ties designed by leading modern artists such as Patrick Caulfield, David Shrigley and John Hoyland. However these are not all for Kevin to wear, but are also for sale in the Watermill gallery. The ties are a special limited edition, each in a presentation box. At £90 each, what more unique present could there be? And when they are all sold, Kevin will be able to relax again, tie-less.
