Peacock & the worm

Peacock & the worm To receive regular news visit www.peacock.studio and sign up for our monthly e-newsletter.

Since 1974, Peacock - a workshop for art (previously Peacock Printmakers & Peacock Visual Arts) has supported thousands of artists in the production of artworks, ranging from prints to video works, photography, performance and site-specific public installations. At its core lies the idea of the multiple - work that can be reproduced in a variety of formats, analogue and digital, reconfiguring the

relationship between the artist, the artwork and the audience, which can be outlined simply as making, learning and showing. Our organisation is supported by Aberdeen City Council and Creative Scotland. Peacock’s role in the city of Aberdeen, through its printmaking workshops and the gallery/project space the worm, has been to activate spaces where artists and citizens are, prompted by artworks to congregate around ideas and practices that interrupt everyday routines. Our making facilities include a screen printing studio and relief printing studio as well as a laser cutter and vinyl cutter. In our online print shop, we have a wide range of contemporary art prints for sale by local, regional and international artists, many of which have been published and editioned at Peacock - a workshop for art. Our open access workshop is based just off the Castlegate, with a sign above the close. Our project space and gallery is on the Castlegate and is called the worm.

Peacock Studio member Eva aka Studio ECM describes herself as a paper enthusiast and Scottish native currently based on the North-East coast. Her personality is woven into her practise by implementing bold colours, expressive typography and documenting places she adventures to.⁠
⁠
“I really enjoy responding to my surroundings in tactile ways,” states Eva. Her longest-running project has been a series of A3 Risograph prints that take inspiration from vintage travel advertisement. She tells us; “In college I was dubbed ‘the fine art graphic designer’ due to the amount of time I didn’t spend behind a screen, and did spend cutting up paper or experimenting on the Risograph printer.” ⁠
⁠
This project is an extension of this love for a physical aspect in her work, which she then links back to the digital realm through stylish typography.⁠
