Vanessa Bullick Textiles pieces from her studio in Cellardyke in the East Neuk of Fife. Vanessa makes coloured stoneware tableware and smoke fired pots. She also makes traditional oilskin and dry oilskin bags along with knitwear.

Organic, handbuilt functional pottery. Influenced by my former career as a freshwater ecologist, I predomiantly use blues and greens and heavy use of texture to evoke naturalistic forms and shapes. Drippy gloss glazes add interest whilst retaining functionality.

Edinburgh based ceramicist Jay Frazer produces wheel thrown designs to be enjoyed in the home, and a collection of contemporary ceramic jewellery. With inspiration deriving from Scottish Sea and landscapes, the works are fluid forms that achieve a balance between natural and contemporary. Jay allows for serendipity and experimentation to guide her work, often resulting in unique one off pieces. Each design is made with tactility in mind, celebrating the variety of surfaces that can be found through the process of making ceramics.

Sandra draws influences from nature and architecture. With a vast spectrum to work from, this allows Sandra to produce various bodies of work. Sandra's work comprises of black free-hand intricately decorated vessels, earthy oxide striped vessels, colourful dishes and platters, all of which will be on showing at Winter Glow. To date Sandra's practice is also varied - collaborations with a local interior designer, collaborations with two local sculptors, skills-swapping with a local textile designer/printer, teaching in adult education settings, facilitating sessions in her studio for all ages and abilities, undertakes commissioned work and exhibits her own work. 

I produce reduction fired stoneware ceramics, mainly tableware. Much of the work uses wood-ash based glazes and features those elusive copper reds found only in high temperature, reduction firing. Work produced ranges from small bowls and dishes through to large serving bowls, platters, vases and urns. We also supply several Edinburgh restaurants with table ware and offer a variety of courses and workshops. As a Social Enterprise, our profits go towards offering free and subsidised access to courses and workshops to those living with poor mental health.

I make mainly wheel thrown domestic and decorative ceramics including mugs, jugs and vases. I decorate each piece using the technique of sgrafitto: when the work is partially dry it’s dipped into a contrasting coloured slip. I then scratch the design through the colo u red layer to reveal the contrasting colour below . I have two different ranges of work; Botanical, inspired by weeds and wild flowers as well as seaweed, shells and pebbles and Geometric, where ideas come from mid - century pattern and modernist architecture.

Susan McGill is a ceramic artist and designer who works from her home in Fife. Her hand painted black and white designs are influenced by family life, tradition, nostalgia and her love of the Scots language. Susan’s work is both functional and decorative and ranges from large hand built items to mugs and cups. Her non-ceramic pieces include pressed birchwood trays, Perspex Luckenbooth brooches and beautiful limited edition handmade prints

We make one-off small-batch ceramic vessels, which are both unique and intended for everyday use around the home. We work with interesting and unusual clay bodies, either simply glazing the areas that will be in contact with food or drink, or layering decals, silkscreens and transfers. This makes our pots both a visual and a tactile pleasure. We are selling mugs, Japanese-style tea bowls and beakers.
