Critically acclaimed Scottish playwright and artist John Byrne is Patron of Teapot Trust. Amongst his acts of support of the charity, John Byrne auctioned painting titled West of 8^th, on behalf of Teapot Trust in 2015.

John Byrne also features in Teapot Trust’s doART video, which can be viewed on YouTube.

John stated, "You do incredibly important work; in these days of entertaining children with technology, home-made entertainment is long gone. The place to go for safety, wonder and magic is your own imagination, available any time for free – there you can roam to your heart’s content. All you need is a pencil and paper – the battery never runs out and the screen never freezes."
