- Dovecot_Studios abstract "Dovecot Studios is a tapestry studio in Edinburgh, Scotland.Dovecot Studios was established by the 4th Marquess of Bute in 1912, as an offshoot of William Morris' workshops at Merton Abbey in London. The Marquess commissioned the studios to produce large tapestries for Mount Stuart House, his home on the Isle of Bute. Dovecot Studios' first home was in Corstorphine, which at the time was a village on the west side of Edinburgh. It was originally housed in a purpose built studio next to a sixteenth-century dovecot, the only remaining part of the medieval Corstorphine Castle. After the Second World War, the studios became known as Edinburgh Tapestry Company. In 2001 it lost its financial support and went into liquidation.Since 2008 Dovecot Studios has been residing in the refurbished Infirmary Street Baths in central Edinburgh, which gives a new life and purpose to what was a derelict building. It now employs five weavers on a full-time basis, including two apprentice weavers.Artists who have worked with Dovecot Studios include: Edward Bawden Graham Sutherland Edward Wadsworth David Hockney Sir Peter Blake Peter Saville Paul Gauguin John Byrne (playwright) Alasdair Gray Elizabeth Blackadder Eduardo Paolozzi Jankel Adler Louise Nevelson William Crozier Alan DavieAs well as housing the Studio's Tapestry Studio, Dovecot's Infirmary Street home now also includes a cafe, shop, event hire spaces and three exhibition galleries.
