Andy Stirling Robertson is a designer from Glasgow creating drawings, limited edition prints and textiles.

The Studio
The studio was founded in Glasgow in 2020, by Andy Stirling Robertson. The studio’s focus is on design through multidisciplinary practice. This includes handwoven textiles (interiors, installations, private commissions), drawing and coding.
Complexity and the difference between maps and territories are some of the concepts developed by the studio. Our projects are recognisable by their identity, based upon experimentation, the circular economy, and continuous practice with, proportion and materials.
The studio plants a tree for each print sold in the shop.

Andy
When I was 13 I wanted to be an artist who lived in Paris when I grew up. (I also really wanted to be a footballer, but that was hopeless). I had a map in mind about how that might work. I was on my way when I graduated in textile design from The Glasgow School of Art in 2008. I’m now in my 30s and I’ve never lived in Paris. The map is not the territory.
In the coronavirus pandemic, I was scared I’d die without having made enough of my own design work. My desires to draw, previously put on hold for a more sensible career, now mean a lot more to me. So I built this site to show my work. This site is for 13 year old me, and a promise I’m still working on that map to get to Paris.
