Elizabeth Blackadder: A Life in Colour
August 15, 2026
Elizabeth Blackadder: A Life in Colour, Dovecot Studios' current exhibition of work by the ACS member, will remain on display until November.
Bringing together paintings, drawings and textiles from across Blackadder’s career, the exhibition explores the artist’s enduring engagement with colour across different media.
Works from the Royal Scottish Academy are presented alongside textiles produced over Blackadder’s five-decade-plus collaboration with Dovecot Studios, showcasing how the artist’s compositions evolved as they moved between paper, canvas and textile.
Until 14 Nov
Dovecot Studios, 10 Infirmary Street, Edinburgh EH1 1LT
