Discover the ‘Beating Heart of Edinburgh Art’ as Albion Road Studios throws open its doors…
Many of its artists and makers will be throwing open their doors to the public over the weekend of 8th and 9th November, offering visitors an opportunity to really enjoy discovering our site on Albion Road – it’s such a wonderful and characterful warren of studios of different sizes, filled with so many different creative people – and, even though it’s so vibrant, a lot of people aren’t even aware that we are here.
At well over 100 years old, the striking red brick buildings which now house the Albion Business Centre, are home to one of Edinburgh’s most vibrant but least known creative communities. The buildings fell out of use as a bottling plant around 1985 but, soon after, were to be given new life as artists’ studios. Albion Open Studios weekend is a chance to explore three of the intriguing buildings that make up the site, founded for the manufacture of fizzy drinks by James Dunbar in the early 1900s and to meet the remarkable people who now operate from its network of studios.
I’m really looking forward to welcoming visitors into my own studio to see and talk about my work – so much of which is about connecting with the natural world not far from the site – and to explore my world through my paintings, ink drawings, artist’s books, cards and prints.
