Call & Response continues with journalist, TV presenter and writer Kirsty Wark, our second participant to create a limited-edition print with our Master Printmakers as part of this creative initiative.
Titled Polly Wark: pieces of Glasgow, the work is inspired by Kirsty's great-aunt Polly, a talented china painter active in the 1940s. The print draws from a hand-painted plate she created in 1944/45, celebrating women's creativity, intergenerational craft, and Glasgow's rich artistic traditions. Kirsty also incorporates Polly's original maker's mark, "MW," in gold leaf - a nod to a family legacy still visible in charity and antique shops today.
