Colour All Around You

This exhibition is a collaboration between Bernat Klein Foundation and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design exploring the influence of context and surroundings on design.  Klein was inspired by the landscape and colours of the Scottish borders. Colour All Around You showcases a new generation of textile designers, inspired by Klein’s pioneering approach to colour.  It offers visitors a vibrant exploration of colour – how you look for it, and how to interpret it through design and textiles. You can explore sketchbooks and story boards, ideas for knitted and printed textiles, and personal interpretations of colour. We invite viewers to reflect on how colour can be discovered in new and unexpected ways.

The project was supported by the Bernat Klein Foundation through specialist talks on Klein’s work and our annual BKF Award in recognition of innovative creative practice.
