Etchingroom1 Online Artist Talk
Tuesday 18 August | 6:30pm | £5
Join us for an online artist talk to celebrate Etchingroom1's exhibition Unexpected Trip.
Chaired by Edinburgh Printmakers Chief Executive Janet Archer, Etchingroom1's online talk will discuss their work across printmaking, drawing, sculpture and embroidery, and the value of capturing the different types of journeys and relationships we make and form throughout our lives.
In Unexpected Trip, Etchingroom1 share heartfelt stories, and present a wonderfully whimsical collection of pieces that show both the hard and exciting moments of life, but always with this undertone of “and this too shall pass” so you should not take anything all too seriously.
Some parts of the talk will be delivered in Ukrainian, supported in translation by Anna Bubnova, Senior Relationship Manager, British Council Arts.
Unexpected Trip is on display at Edinburgh Printmakers from 24 July - 25 October 2026.
The exhibition has been generously supported by the British Council, with thanks to Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop in the realisation of this work. The exhibition and this event are part of Edinburgh Art Festival (14 August - 30 August 2026).
