Dame Elizabeth Blackadder (1931-2021) is the first woman to have been elected to both the Royal Scottish Academy (1972) and the Royal Academy of Arts (1976). The breadth of her work in oil, watercolour and printmaking techniques has long been celebrated for its new perspectives in contemporary art. Blackadder collaborated with Dovecot across five decades to create over 30 tapestries and hand-tufted rugs. This exhibition will not only shed light on her illustrious career but also showcase her work in the context of the world-famous Studios.
