‘T’ OPENS TODAY, SATURDAY 9TH MAY, AT 1PM 🫖 Volk Gallery is proud to present the work of @codesign.scot and @stein__design . Each Volk artist is given a size limit and budget and left to their own devices. With this brief, Finlayson and Stein have produced 50 ‘T’ bags, acting as a medium for queer storytelling. Each edition explores how objects, flavours, and stories can create space for conversation and care, centred around queer voices often unheard, unnoticed, or unspoken in public life. Through the wonders of tea and type, Finlayson and Stein have crafted gentle prompts for conversation, or small invitations to sit with difference and get a taste of someone else’s world. 🖨️ Printing and poster design by @yallariso ⭐️ Part of @dundeemonthofdesign 2026 Volk Gallery is open Mon-Sat, Hours Vary 📍Central Library, Dundee _______________________________ @galleryvolk is a non-institutional arts venue based in Dundee, Scotland. Consisting of a repurposed nappy vending machine, Volk Gallery is hung in the publicly accessible locale of Central Library in The Wellgate. A rotation of products are dispensed at a set price of £3 each. Works are completed by commissioned artists and change monthly.

🚫 No dirty watches, stress-busting trash and designed solutions in one afternoon! Post-lunch with Andy and Jen from @vadundee Design for Business program - as exhilarating and knackering as the morning but so impressed with how much can be achieved in one day. That'll be @tigerprinters @hallmark away with some decent ideas! #designforbusiness #dundeeuni #DJCAD #vadundee #designsprint #design #dundee #business #tigerprint #hallmark #christmas

What a brilliant morning working with the @vadundee Design for Business program on a project for @tigerprinters @hallmark . Post-it madness, snap decisions, awful drawings and balloons so far...can't wait to see what's in store for the afternoon. #designforbusiness #dundeeuni #DJCAD #vadundee #designsprint #design #dundee #business #tigerprint #hallmark #christmas

Brilliant day yesterday at one of the fantastic @dundeeuni web team design sprints considering the end-to-end UX of our Open Days. Full on and intense but there's a universal sense of 'ahh we've sorted that mess out' at the end of the day #influence #change 👌 Strawberry Bank Ideas Lab living up to its name for sure #designsprint #dundeeuni #webteam #university #openday #ux #design

Am I mad?! I'll be talking at #PKN_DND Vol. 20 @dundeerep on 26/02...eek! Grab tickets from @creative_dundee to hear how visiting Auschwitz at 17, coming of age in the city of design and working for @thescpn has made a designer dedicated to improving the world! #pkn #creativedundee #dundee #dundeeuni #djcad #designer #design

Delighted to hear that the research collaboration 'Hands of X', which rejects the de facto aesthetics of prosthetic hands, that Graham Pullin - my course director - and Andrew Cook - @djcad_uod alumni - have been working on with @ucl is on display @cooperhewitt in New York! . #handsofx #prosthetics #designfordisability #design #cooperhewitt #newyork #djcad #dundeeuni #grahampullin #andrewcook #ucl #instituteofmaking
