We produce paintings, textiles, raku pottery

and fine art prints in our studio at Balemartine on the Isle of Tiree.

A large selection of our work can be seen in

our studio gallery overlooking the beach

situated south of the township on the the road to Hynish. The gallery has spectacular views eastwards towards Mull and Iona.

We have seats located around the gallery overlooking the beach and it is possible to see otters, seals and basking sharks as well as a
large variety of sea birds including terns and oystercatchers.

Opening times are:

April - October
Monday - Friday / 1.00pm - 5.00pm

In good weather Raku firing demonstrations are held outside the studio on Thursday afternoons during June, July and August.

The process of raku involves coating once-fired ceramics with low-fired glazes, heating them in a kiln until white hot, removing them while the glaze is still molten and setting them into a container of combustible material such as grass, sawdust, paper or seaweed. The resulting fire starves the clay and glaze of oxygen creating spectacular hues of copper, gold, silver and turquoise.
