Dundee
Meadow Mill in the Blackness area of Dundee is home to a dynamic community of over 90 artists, makers and designers. The largest studio facility of its kind in the region, Wasps has had a presence at Meadow Mill since 1986. Across three floors of the building, there are 58 artist studios and a Project Space used for exhibitions and workshops. Among those based at Meadow Mill are ceramicists, painters, textile workers, printmakers and sculptors.
Formerly known as North Dudhope Mill, the building was opened in 1874 by Urqhuart Lindsay and Co., with around 500 people working there at the peak of Dundee’s textile boom. This jute mill specialised in the spinning and weaving of jute before it was sent on to be used in the city’s other flourishing industries; whaling, fishing and shipbuilding.
For Doors Open Days the artist community at Meadow Mill are hosting an Open Studios event. This is an opportunity for visitors to explore the private spaces of the painters, ceramicists, designers and everyone in between.
Get to know this amazing community, support local artists and get inspired by witnessing the creative process!
