Bespoke Atelier have been working with specialist fabricators Galloway Granite and Andrew's Marbles & Tiles on a collection of outdoor furniture and sculptural artworks as part of their new public art commission with Collective Architecture for Midlothian Life Health and Social Care Partnership (Midlothian Council). 
 
Made from repurposed salvaged sandstone blocks from the former primary school at Polton Street, the artworks will feature at the entrance of the new dementia care facility in Bonnyrigg, due to open later this year.
 
The designs, including a ‘girls’ and ‘boys’ bench, have been developed using highly skilled industrial craft techniques, incorporating sandblasted patterns and bespoke terrazzo elements. Inspired by the surrounding hillside landscape of Bonnyrigg, they intend to offer places to sit, meet, and enjoy moments of calm and quiet reflection.

Barrie Girls was a temporary exhibition by graphic designers Sophie 'Soph' Dyer and and artist which took place as part of the programme of cultural events for the Merchant City Festival (2013).

Barrie Girls took inspiration from a set of historical ‘Look Book’ photographs loaned from the archive of now closed Barrie Knitwear. Garment by garment, two unknown women model the latest season of Barrie’s knitwear collection against a series of undefined backdrops within the factory and its grounds.

By re-examining and expanding potential narratives for the photographs, Dyer, Redmond and Jardine combined the collection with new graphic and written works to create a series of posters and texts offering a new context for the Barrie Girls at a point where visual art, graphic design, history and fiction become interwoven.

The accompanying booklet, Ceci n’est pas une foto, with text by Fiona Jardine, is available to buy from Panel’s online shop. Link in bio!

Last summer Bespoke Atelier led a series of hands-on workshops to inform their public art commission for Midlothian Life Health and Social Care Partnership (Midlothian Council). 
 
Staff, residents and younger members of the local community took part in printmaking sessions at Highbank Intermediate Care Home, taking inspiration from design drawings and floral sketches, as well as the shapes and colours found in the surrounding hillside landscape.
 
Participants worked together on their designs, reflecting on shared connections and hopes for the new purpose-built facility at Polton Street in Bonnyrigg designed by Collective Architecture, which will offer a warm and welcoming environment designed for comfort, care and community.

Looking back to researching the two-channel video installation UNDERFOOT with in
2022. Here Elizabeth is in conversation with Dr Jonathan Cleaver ( ) at Glasgow University Archives and Special Collections.

“UNDERFOOT opens with images of Europe’s largest lending library. A series of photographs taken
upon completion of the building in 1981, reveal a late-modernist design. Whilst the spacious rooms
are clearly furnished for hundreds of readers they appear entirely unpopulated, and even more
conspicuously, hold no books. The video’s two narrators use these photographs to guide us through
all the levels of the empty multi-storey building, seeking - in lieu of books - other legible artefacts.
…
We see abstracted forms of flora, foliage, grasses, mosses and terrain: images generated through the
prolific industrial manufacture of carpets, now held in the University archives of the same city.
Descending further we finally land in the midst of the loom used to weave them. Recreated here as a
computer-generated animation, we see it within the neo-gothic building - situated just across town
from the library - that was originally built to house it.” – Elizabeth Price

UNDERFOOT was a commission and exhibition by Elizabeth Price for The Hunterian realised through
a partnership between The Hunterian, Panel, and

In Scotland, as across the globe, scarves can be an instant signifier of your sporting allegiance. Souvenirs of great sporting occasions, they are held in times of triumph and moments of hope and left in tribute after tragedy – carriers of memory, a supporter’s trophy.

Players, Mohammad Najib Naheb and Zahir Alizaie, Michelle Magee and Alison O’Neil, and Alloysious Massaquoi wear their scarves, ‘Home’ or ‘Away’ after competing in Forest Pitch (2012). A London 2012 commission by artist Craig Coulthard Forest Pitch saw the creation of a full-size football pitch in the middle of a Spruce plantation in the Scottish Borders. The site was used for one day, hosting two matches, before being left to grow back and be reclaimed by nature. The teams consisted of amateur players from all over Scotland, some who had never played football before. The majority of the players were recent British citizens or those with Leave to Remain.

For Scotland Can Make It! (2012–2014), weave designer Angharad McLaren and graphic designer Emlyn Firth collaborated with Scottish textile manufacturer Johnstons of Elgin to create the set of two merino wool scarves inspired by the home and away support of sporting events. The scarves have been designed as a blank canvas – you choose if you’re ‘Home’ or ‘Away’, what that symbolises, who you’ll support, and what memories you take away with you.

With the Commonwealth Games returning to Glasgow in a couple of weeks, we’re looking back at a project of ours from the last time the city hosted the Games in the Summer of 2014.

Scotland Can Make It! explored the possibilities of making, commissioning six designers and makers from across the country. A collection of six souvenirs were designed and manufactured entirely in Scotland, created by Atelier E.B, Claire Duffy, FOUND, Emlyn Firth with Angharad McLaren, Neil McGuire with Marianne Anderson and Katy West, in close collaboration with producers, fabricators and developers across Scotland. The project encompassed an exhibition, film series, events programme and shop in partnership with Glasgow Museums and South Block.

Barrie Girls, a commission and exhibition Panel presented in 2013, took its inspiration from a set of historical ‘Look Book’ photographs loaned from the archive of Barrie Knitwear.

Garment by garment, two unknown women model the latest season of Barrie’s knitwear collection against a series of undefined backdrops within the factory and its grounds. By re-examining and expanding potential narratives for the photographs, graphic designers Sophie Dyer and Maeve Redmond and artist Fiona Jardine combined the collection with new graphic poster and written works offering a new context for the Barrie Girls.

Designed by Maeve Redmond and Sophie Dyer and printed by Ben Ashton.

Rooted in Bonnyrigg’s textile heritage, Bespoke Atelier’s research has taken inspiration from historic carpet patterns and design drawings found in the archive of Henry Widnell & Sons, a local carpet factory that operated in the town until 1982.
 
Within the Stoddard Templeton Archive at the University of Glasgow Archives and Special Collections (), Bespoke Atelier discovered the sketchbooks of local artist Pierre Langlade (1812–1909), who moved to Scotland from France to work as a designer in the factory.
 
His meticulous studies of flora were translated into industrially-woven carpet designs for a variety of public and private clients all over the world.
 
These archival references have inspired a series of new textile and sculptural works currently in production for the interior and exterior spaces for the new Polton Street development, highlighting Bonnyrigg’s rich industrial and craft heritage.
