Daniel works from his studio / gallery in Glenferness on the edge of the Cairngorm National Park, where he produces ceramic work and bronze sculpture.
Contemporary design and elegance of line are beautifully evident in Daniels work, his ability to interpret the Highland landscape through the constant evolution of new ceramic forms and fresh colours. Producing work that demonstrates a high quality of craftsmanship.
Daniel is also inspired by ancient Roman pottery, Japanese ceramics and the art and architecture of east Asia.
Ceramic work includes some pieces being thrown on the wheel and then formed using several different sections.
Application of metallic lustres to the fired surface illuminate both the richness and reflective quality of the materials used creating an opulent feel to the work.
New work fuses the use of ceramics and bronze in an innovative and striking way.
Daniel has a small gallery space adjacent to his studio which is open all year round by appointment or please visit the website for more details on exhibitions, stockists and open studio events.
Prices begin at £35-300

Raised in New Zealand and London, I trained as a potter at Wimbledon, Norwich and Medway Colleges of Art under Tony Gant, David White, Colin Metcalfe, Peter Phillips, Siddig el Ngoumi and others. Within a few years of moving north to Portobello with my growing Scots family, I established a studio pottery in the centre of Penicuik.
In Edinburgh in the mid seventies I first set up pottery classes for adults at Cannonball House and taught there and at Infirmary Street for thirty years; I also teach regularly from my Penicuik pottery and at the Garvald community. But in many schools and art colleges the teaching of pottery has been brought to an end, and indigenous pottery manufacture becomes harder and harder to find.
Enthusiasm among lovers of craft pottery is strong in Scotland and New Zealand. With annual summer schools and occasional special pottery events at my Valleyfield House studio in Penicuik, I also exhibit each November at Penicuik Arts Centre and have shown with Scottish Potters at Broughton, Dunfermline, Glasgow, Nairn, Stirling, Perth and Milngavie.
I concentrate on thrown pots: useful wares like jugs, teapots, mugs, cups, plates and bowls, saltshakers and butterdishes. Unusual recent commissions include Dalhousie Castle Hotel and the Traverse Theatre.

I design and create one-off ceramic sculptures of people with humorous qualities, all of which capture the observed essence of human behaviour. Each piece is hand made. The pieces are made using crank clay, glazed and fired in electric kiln to 1260 ºC. All pieces are unique in both form and personality, I try to capture the personality rather than make an exact representation. Inspiration stems from observing people around me - during holidays, concerts, meetings, shopping, and during travel.

After a long career working in medical science and community education Pat finally had the opportunity to develop her interest in ceramics when she and her husband moved to the West Coast of Scotland. Now living in Brora, Pat hand builds pots in stoneware that are heavily influenced by the textures, shapes and colours of the coastal landscape of Sutherland.

My work uses varied clays, primarily porcelain or paperclay made with porcelain slip which is used for large scale murals and wall panels as well as platters and smaller dishes.
Current work makes use of strong colour and pattern; decorating methods include spraying, stencils, screen printing & brushwork. Some murals also include areas of textured relief which can be felt by the visually impaired.
Wall pieces frequently consist of a series of panels linked by theme but each individually composed. The feeling is contemporary, abstract, often using imagery from flags, or symbols seen in everyday life and understood without words. The work is high fired and usually waxed and burnished with little use of glaze.
Tile designs are hand painted with themes to suit clients’ specifications.
These are in earthenware, with coloured glazes using manufactured bisque tiles which can be incorporated easily into standard ranges in areas ranging from small panels of a few tiles to entire walls.

ROSLIN GLEN CERAMICS
Murryfield, Roslin Glen, Roslin, Midlothian
Tel:0131 4402228
Visit by appointment only.
The Pottery was established ib 1980 by Maggie Longstaff.
Roslin Glen Pottery works (ceramic pictures) are sold through Scottish Potters Association exhibitions, joint exhibitions with fellow potters and galleries. Private commissions are also accepted
How The Ceramics Are Produced:
A design first drawn on paper is transferred to a slab of clay through indentation by retracing the drawing onto the surface of rolled out leather- hard clay.
The resulting clay imprint is cut up into seperate pieces in sympathy with the design. Decoration in relief is sometimes applied using coils of clay.
The work is bisque fired, then glaze fired several times at different temperatures with a range of artistic glazes and enamels. The picture is fixed to a wooden board, framed and grouted.
