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

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.

I graduated in Ceramics and Photography from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2000 and completed a Masters in Fine Art at Grays school of Art in Aberdeen in 2005. I have done some projects in hospitals and schools and am currently completing 4 large murals for the International School in Aberdeen. I am also Chair of the Scottish Potters Association Newsletter.
My own recent work relates to natural themes and textures. Porcelain is textured by the landscape: worn wood, leaves, rocks and sometimes found man-made items, are included with printed marks. Recent work with others: a driftwood sculptor and a print-maker has expanded my visual “vocabulary”. I have exhibited in galleries around Scotland including 8 exhibitions with “The Mix” a group of artists who all graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design.

My work is predominantly thrown using red earthenware clay. I use two ancient techniques of decoration on my work – slip trailing and sgraffito. I make functional pots because I enjoy seeing my work being used and enjoyed, all my pieces are created to be useful and at the same time beautiful to look at and to use. I am fascinated and thrilled by constantly developing the skills and techniques of my craft. I am particularly focussed on making pots that are of a very high quality and that perform their jobs to a very high standard. Pottery has the potential to outlast and survive many generations and I believe that as it has this ability it is my duty to use every bit of care and skill that I have available to me when I create something from clay.
My range includes mugs and jugs, plates and bowls, casserole dishes and teapots and so on and I am constantly expanding this. The decoration is based on natural patterns and textures as well as on traditional folk arts from around the world, from pottery, textiles and metal work. I take inspiration from the vegetation around me and my love of the outdoors. Inspiration can come from anywhere and I am always on the look out for new ideas. I also love to create commemorative pieces for special occasions.

Living on the shores of Loch Fyne, my main inspirations are sealife and boats. Most of my work are hand-built sculptures, mostly slab built. The seal sculptures are created in stoneware and suitable for outdoors. The rest are earthenware, which allows me to use a combination of oxides and brighter coloured glazes. Recently I have started to combine driftwood from the shores of the loch with my boats. This adds a sense of movement and contrasts manmade with nature.
