A former Glasgow student will showcase Scotland's top design talents at The Burrell Collection this weekend.
Joanne MacFadyen, who studied at Glasgow Clyde College and previously held her first pop-up market in the city, is back with the free event on August 3 and 4, from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sunday.
The event, hosted by Tea Green Events, will feature more than 70 designers across Scotland.
On offer will be a range of items including jewellery, clothing, homewares, and accessories.
Joanne, born in East Kilbride, started Tea Green Events 10 years ago.
She sees this weekend's fair as her 'homecoming' following the success of her past events at The Burrell Collection and Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery last winter.

She said: “Tea Green Events owes everything to Glasgow. We held our first ever event at Glasgow School of Art Student Union.
“I’ve also got vivid childhood memories of visiting both The Burrell Collection and Kelvingrove, also as an artist and a young creative person where I spent lots of time, just being inspired by what was around me.
“I particularly love the works of Charles Rennie Macintosh and his wife Margaret Macdonald, whose collections at Kelvingrove just blow me away.
“I’ve also had a lifelong fascination with the ceramics and jewellery at The Burrell Collection, so coming back to these venues is huge for me and makes me feel particularly proud.”
Lauren Rhodes, commercial development and programming manager at Glasgow Life, said: "More than ever, independents face barriers in showcasing their work and are increasingly priced out of city centres.
"Unfortunately, if creativity isn’t given a platform, art and creativity will suffer and our communities will miss out.
"Events like this also help us break down barriers, showing that museums are for everyone, they’re free, accessible and a fantastic resource in our cities.”
Jolene Crawford of Irregular Sleep Pattern, who is one of the Glasgow designers selling her creations at this weekend’s event, said: "The markets also attract new audiences into these beautiful venues which can only be a good thing.
"Anything that encourages people to engage with art is so important."
