This show goes beyond well-known names such as Edinburgh’s Phoebe Traquair and leader of the ‘Glasgow Style’, Charles Rennie Mackintosh to explore a nationwide flowering of creative talent. Based on the book by Dr Elizabeth Cumming, the exhibition features jewellery, metalwork, furniture, ceramics, glass, textiles, and architectural designs. A City of Edinburgh Museums and Galleries touring exhibition, supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation through its Regional Museums Initiative.
