Whisky - the water of life

[Historic Environment Scotland] …
“Steenhauer immersed herself in Speyside Cooperage – a working cooperage which produces and repairs around 150,000 oak casks every year for the local and international whisky industry. At Speyside Cooperage, the artist found the mix of old and new techniques fascinating. Traditional tools and hand-crafted methods are used by the coopers to create impressive barrels. Through bold strokes and atmospheric prints, Steenhauer invites audiences to step inside the steam, fire, and craft of Scotland’s working heritage.”
