    Glasgow Print Studio announces Call & Response, a major new artistic initiative bringing together some of Scotland's most iconic and influential cultural figures to create limited-edition original prints in collaboration with the Studio's Master Printmakers.
     
    Spanning music, fashion, theatre, and design, Call & Response invites a celebrated group of creatives to step outside their usual discipline and into the world of fine art printmaking. Confirmed participants include Bobby Bluebell, Kirsty Wark, Sanjeev Kohli, Alan Cumming, Franz Ferdinand, Greg Hemphill & Julie Nimmo, Ashley Jensen and The Pastels.
  • Each participant will work with the expert team at Glasgow Print Studio to produce a unique print edition, drawing inspiration from their personal creative practice. Whether a lyric, a photograph, a poem, or a drawing, each piece will offer an intimate glimpse into their artistic world - translated through traditional or contemporary printmaking techniques such as screenprint, etching, woodcut, or digital print.
     
    The project will culminate in a major public exhibition at Glasgow Print Studio's renowned main gallery in 2026, with each limited-edition artwork available for purchase. All proceeds from sales will go directly back into supporting the not-for-profit Studio's mission to foster excellence, innovation, and accessibility in printmaking.
     
    “This project is a true celebration of creativity and collaboration, building on our legacy of inviting cultural icons to engage with printmaking - as we have over the decades with polymaths such as John Byrne, Alasdair Gray and others - we’re opening up fresh conversations across disciplines, while supporting the future of printmaking in the process.”
