North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre

Saturday 5 September – Saturday 25 October 2025 (this exhibition has now closed)

Art and industry meet in an exhibition exploring the skill and beauty of technical drawing.

See a selection of drawings, tracings and blueprints from the collections, many of them made in Motherwell. Hear from the skilful people who made these intricate drawings and see the tools they used.

We bring the story up to date with modern 3D drawings that you can view on your mobile device, thanks to a collaboration between Gael Music and New College Lanarkshire.

Then it’s time to get hands on and make your own drawings with the help of a video tutorial!
