SPIN
SP!N was a charitable art exhibition for the Drumchapel Table Tennis Club (DTTC). The project showcased 42 table tennis paddles designed by artists, designers and illustrators from across Scotland — as well as one dedicated table design for the show.
Participating artists were asked to create a design based on either balance, resilience or strength — three words closely aligned with the sport.
Based in Wasps Studio’s South Block building in Glasgow, SP!N ran as a silent auction, with all proceeds going to the DTTC, supporting the club and its players on an international level.
DTTC is one of the biggest clubs in Britain. Founded in 1989, it has more than 300 members aged between eight and 80 playing each week. Celebrating its 30th birthday the year of the exhibition, the club plays a huge role in the development of table tennis in Scotland.
