Our very own blueroom design collective (blueroomcollective.co.uk)
successfully showed in Gallery 2 at Edinburgh Palette.
The show transfers now to Summerhall as part of Paradigm electronic arts.

 The Ten week January Foundation Pottery students were all working hard last night on week two of our wheel throwing and hand building programme. Great to see a real creative buzz in the studio.

                                          Happy Christmas everyone. Have a wonderful day.

Collidoscope

Interesting things happen when elements collide

Collidoscope seeks to bridge the traditional divisions between Fine Art, Design and Craft.

One Fine artist, two Textile artists, one Printmaker, two Potters and the Edinburgh Guerilla Knitters have collided together to show in Galley 3.

The work on show represents, nostalgia, culture, nature and anonymity.

Our SQA certificate pottery students made and decorated 3D paper and cardboard shapes in preparation for designing and making clay vessels.

This frees them from thinking and making stereotypical pots and allows them to think more holistically. It also introduces them to colour and pattern which will translate into interesting glaze work
