    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, Alan Cumming, Franz Ferdinand, Greg Hemphill & Julie Nimmo, Pam Hogg, Ashley Jensen, Sanjeev Kohli, The Pastels, and Kirsty Wark.
  • 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.”
