Cornelia Weinmann

Cornelia is a textile designer and avid up-cycler creating colourful, contemporary slow fashion garments from her home studio in Kettins, Perthshire.

Cornelia used to be a painter and printmaker but actively made the switch from fine art to functional art when she became more aware of our throw-away culture, in particular the damaging effects of the fast fashion industry on our environment.

Nicola McCabe

Nicola’s collection features a distinct delicate and minimalist aesthetic, and includes thoughtfully designed pieces for the home such as plant pots, candle holders, soap dishes and other small decorative ceramics that instantly enhance any home.

Jon Bishop

Jon is the enormously talented illustrator behind the hand-drawn creations brand, The Grey Earl. Jon creates illustrations for picture books and also stand-alone illustrations available to purchase as digital prints.

Jon’s work is hand-drawn and entirely imagined, he creates colourful, dreamlike scenes which appeals to the inner-child in all of us.

Kate McLaughlin

Kate creates beautifully simple yet striking contemporary jewellery with a minimal aesthetic from her home-based studio. Kate practices under her own brand, Align Jewellery, meticulously hand making every item.

Kate’s previous life as an architect is a major influence on her work. The presence of strong, clean lines and the careful consideration of each item’s form to create both interesting shapes and voids is immediately apparent in her collection.

Charles Harris

Charles is a classically trained painter producing Scottish landscapes and portrait paintings and drawings. Charles’ style is classic, traditional and based upon a solid foundation of classical painting techniques which are no longer taught.
