The Weather Man: New Exhibition by Robbie Burns

Gaada is proud to present The Weather Man, a new outdoor exhibition by Shetland Artist Robbie Burns, now on display outside Toogs Artist Workshop.

Over the past year, Robbie has been attending Weekly Workshops at Gaada to access printmaking equipment such as Letterpress, Screen Print and Risography. He has brought not only his creativity and enthusiasm to these sessions, but also the weekly weather forecast.

Robbie’s precise drawing-based practice has huge character, taking inspiration from memories and everyday characters from his life. His new exhibition celebrates the Weather Man and captures the joy in Robbie’s lyrical re-telling of the forecast each week.

“I like coming to Gaada,” says Robbie. “The Weather Man is very good! He wears a smart brown suit, and he lets you know what it’s going to be. When it’s weather like this, we’re lucky to get that!”

Robbie also has 2 works featured in the digital strand of the Nordic Letterpress Network Exhibition taking place in Stockholm from 29th August to 17th September 2025.

Gaada’s Print Artist and Organiser Issey Medd adds:

“It’s exciting to see Robbie’s work in the spotlight - both here at Gaada and internationally in Sweden! Robbie tells a story with such warmth, humour, and character. It’s a joy to work with him each week, and an even greater joy to see others experience and celebrate his work.”

You can visit The Weather Man Exhibition outside Toogs Artist Workshop Tuesday - Saturday, until October 10th.
