This exhibition marks the second year of a three-year collaborative project between the Italian Department at St Andrews University and the Art Department at Drummond Community High School, Edinburgh. Drummond is a comprehensive school in the heart of Edinburgh with a richly diverse community of students. This year we challenged our third year students to research their own cultural heritage thus creating a dialogue between parents, grandparents and other family members. These findings were then recorded in visual journals and took the form of patterns from various textile traditions and the design of family trees. Following this ten students were selected to participate in an artist led workshop with printmakers Susie Wilson and Jenny Findlay. Here the students learnt new techniques such as gelatin and intaglio printing. These delicately, layered prints reflect textile influences from countries such as Poland, Germany, England, Pakistan, Jamaica, Scotland, Australia and America and visually represent some of our research findings.
