Ceramics - Perthshire Open Studios

I discovered the magic of clay relatively recently, but it has quickly become central to my creative practice. With a background in textiles, painting, and printmaking, I bring an intuitive, playful, and exploratory approach to working with ceramics.
I’m drawn to the unpredictable nature and wildness of clay—its ability to surprise and guide the process fascinates me. I often feel as though the clay has its own voice, and I enjoy responding to it as I work. Much of my inspiration is drawn from the natural world. Birds often find their way into my work—sometimes clearly, sometimes as a whisper of form or flight. Also, personal/life experience finds its way into creative endeavours; the wonders, stages and experience of motherhood.
I’m particularly captivated by texture, pattern, and colour—the possibilities in clay are truly endless.
My work ranges from functional stoneware, often wheel-thrown, to hand- built sculptural pieces and raku vessels. I create from my garden studio, nestled among trees and birdsong – a place where quiet magic seems always just within reach.

Station Cat Pottery

The Station Cat Pottery home is a repurposed 1950s Railway Carriage on our Farm in Highland Perthshire. The Carriage is split into workshop and Gallery space, and from here I spend my days redesigning discarded and disused objects into new pieces of art.
I use Clay,wire, glazes and paints along with engine parts and mechanical hardware to create my pieces.
Im also a keen student of the Cello, and love to incorporate discarded bits of musical instruments into creations. Some of my pieces also have my original poetry on them.
We have a Joyful existence here with our animals, our vintage finds, and being surrounded by the natural world is a constant source of inspiration to me.

Kay Naitby Art

I’ve enjoyed drawing since I was a child, and as time has gone by I’ve found that I like most forms of creativity that use my hands, be that drawing, painting, throwing or hand building with clay. I love experimenting with new techniques and tools of the trade.

Tea with Jud

Tea with Jud has relocated! Visit Jud at her new home built workshop. There will be lots of colourful pottery for sale, including seconds and experiments. Tea, Coffee and Home Baking will also be available.

Roos Eisma Ceramics

I create curvy ceramics out of flat slabs of clay, before enhancing the shape and sharpening edges. The shape of my sculptural vessels is partly planned and partly allowed to develop organically. They are often finished with textured surfaces.
There will be demos, bargains and cake!

Raku by K

Ceramics tempered with fire and smoke, giving very unique pieces. Also works with textiles, using remnants of fabric to produce pieces ‘made to be loved’.
Visitors are welcome to try block printing and can see demonstrations of working with clay.

Philippa Johnston

Philippa Johnston is a metalwork artist who draws with wire, creating pieces that sit somewhere between 2D and 3D. She also works sculpturally with recycled tin, clay and other materials. Her work reflects her love of animals and birds and her passion for folk and children’s art. She’ll be showing a range of work including pieces from her 100 Roosters Instagram project.

Greenscares Pottery

I make ceramics with carved decoration and colours that reflect the views outside my studio windows. My studio is in my garage which has a nice seating area outside looking down the glen to the Ochils. Pop in for a chat and see what I do. I will be making things throughout the week.

Kerstin Robb Ceramics

My pottery is both functional and decorative, created using a variety of techniques. Each piece is tranquil, free-flowing and simplistic in nature taking inspiration from home and my love of travel.

Momentum Pottery

The pottery is only open the first three days of POS, exhibiting the work of four makers, doing demonstrations of pottery firing, throwing, and stone carving.

Raku firing demos all three days, 10am-noon and 2pm-4pm (Monday the last firing is 3pm). Come along, decorate a piece, and have it fired!

Angela @ Artisanand

Artisanand was established in 2014, having the gallery allows me to exhibit my art along with the art of other emerging and established Perthshire artists. We offer an eclectic and quirky selection of artwork in many media, including lots of 3D, in a light and bright gallery space, the front of which is entirely glass, the artwork is the focus and there is room to stand back and enjoy.

In September, as part of the Open Studios Festival, there will be a mixed exhibition featuring many of our gallery favourites. There may be a few popping in to say hello and possibly doing a demo or two, check out the website for details nearer the time.

During Open Studios I’ll be working on a number of new projects, 3d sculptural wall art in Harris Tweed, upcycled and re-upholstered furniture, lamp bases and lampshades, decoupaged scallops, felt jewellery and sculptures. I love trying new techniques and testing my skills with new challenges. Come along and see what I'm working on and perhaps have a go?
