Anne fuses glass ornaments from her studio in Kelso.
She uses a special type of glass to create a variety of pictures, ornaments, bowls, jewellery, lights and sculptures. She loves to experiment, try new things and generally just have fun with glass, finding it very versatile and colourful.
Stephen has been running his small business umbellifer.co.uk since 2018, selling his botanical and nature inspired artworks and cards to gift shops, galleries and gardens throughout the UK. He works in pencil and ink and adds colour by painting digitally to create his distinctive style.
Elaine gained a BA (Hons) in jewellery design from Middlesex Polytechnic and after a career in teaching Art & Design she now enjoys working in stoneware ceramics from her home studio in the Scottish Borders. Elaine takes her inspiration from the Scottish land and seascape.
Denise has 10 flocks of rare breed sheep and does her own shearing and grading of the fleece. How each fleece handles decides what it will be used for, either felted, woven or as stuffing for cushions. The fleece is made entirely by Denise into woven or felted rugs, cushions or scarves. 100% ethical, traceable, renewable and sustainable.
Rachel trained as a Fine Artist (Printmaking) and completed her post graduate studies at Glasgow School of Art. Her current work primarily involves two mediums: scraperboard and lino. Rachel utilises her designs in cards, prints, fabrics, coasters and decorative papers. Her garden is her biggest inspiration and she enjoys the process of selecting specimens, sketching them, developing the design and capturing the colours. She lives and works in Birgham in the Scottish Borders.
Born from a lifelong love of herbalism, traditional soap making and the healing power of nature, I create unique and exquisite, all-natural plant-based soap enriched with therapeutic essential oils, botanicals and natural mineral extracts.
Linda Scott-Robinson uses a variety of mediums to capture the vibrancy of light, colour and movement in the natural world. Her studio-based work is inspired by outdoor sketches and photographs and the momentary glimpses of colour, light and shadow that grab her attention. She tries not to control her work too much, preferring instead to let the work develop organically with spontaneous marks and loose brush strokes.
Clair has been working with ceramics for over twenty years having graduated from Nottingham Trent with a decorative Arts degree. She loves to make in slightly unconventional ways and enjoys introducing other materials into the ceramics making process: paper fibres, old lace and fabrics. Working mainly with white earthenware Clair's work ranges from the large scale “Lasting Impressions” mosaic at the Margaret Kerr Unit to decorative hand painted tiles and colourful horizon vessels.
Pat makes unique and organic jewellery, employing lost wax casting and fabrication techniques, often combining gold and silver with precious and semi-precious gemstones and beads.
