We are incredibly sad to learn of the passing of Jim Pattison RSA.

Born in Dundee in 1955, Jim studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art from 1973–79 before continuing his studies at Moray House College of Education. He later returned to Duncan of Jordanstone, where he taught from 1990 to 2012, and was most recently Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Dundee.

Jim moved to Glasgow from Dundee around 1985 and became a member of Glasgow Print Studio when we were still based on Ingram Street. He maintained a close connection with the Studio ever since, becoming an important part of our wider printmaking community.

Over the years, Jim exhibited with Glasgow Print Studio on numerous occasions, including Observations, a two-person show with Murray Robertson in 2012, Innovate Printmaking (2018), and INK: A Public Archive (2017).

Alongside his teaching career, Jim exhibited widely and made a significant contribution to Scottish art and printmaking.

We are grateful for the many years Jim spent as part of the Glasgow Print Studio community, and our thoughts are with his family, friends, colleagues and all those who knew and worked with him.

He will be greatly missed.

Featured Artist: Rebecca Fielding
**Preview: Thursday 3rd September, 6-8pm**
Exhibition Runs: 4th – 26th September

Join us for the opening of Periphery, a new exhibition by Glasgow-based printmaker Rebecca Fielding.

This new body of work takes the summer solstice as its starting point, presenting a series of etchings that trace the hours of daylight across the longest day of the year. Each print captures a fleeting moment in time, following the changing light from morning through to night.

For Fielding, the solstice is a moment of transition and transformation, when the familiar can take on a more surreal and dreamlike quality. The titles of the works can be read together as a poem, creating a journey through the day and its shifting atmosphere.

Created in colour, predominantly using multi-plate etching, the works build depth through layers of colour and shade. Combined with chine-collé and à la poupée inking, these processes ensure that no two prints are exactly alike.

Fielding's practice draws on everyday observations, dreams and references to art history, creating images that explore the strange and often surreal nature of human experience.

Featured Artist: Maya McMahon-Boon

Don’t miss the final days of Maya McMahon-Boon’s first solo exhibition with Glasgow Print Studio.

For this new body of work, Boon explores landscape through space, boundaries, architecture and manmade structures. Her large-scale woodblock prints combine traditional block printing with contemporary laser-cutting techniques, transforming repeatedly redrawn diagrams into bold, layered compositions.

A Glasgow-based artist and printmaker, Boon was awarded the Glasgow Print Studio Prize in 2024 and went on to receive both the Graduate Award and Cranfield First Prize at Printfest in 2025.

See the exhibition at Glasgow Print Studio before it closes this Saturday 29th August.
