This month we pay a visit to the new home Edinburgh Printmakers in the former North British Rubber Company HQ, Castle Mills in Fountainbridge.
The £11million project has created an international centre for printmaking and it will host a year-round programme of exhibitions, events and learning opportunities. The new open access print studio provides spacious, low-cost printmaking facilities for artists including etching, lithography, screen-printing, relief printing and digital printmaking.
Also on show is a new body of work by German artist Thomas Kilpper. The Politics of Heritage vs. the Heritage of Politics is a large-scale, site-specific floor carving commissioned by the Printmakers to celebrate and launch their new home of Castle Mills.
