About Me...

Hi, and thanks for visiting my website. 

 

I am Amanda, although most folk know me as Mandy.  I am a Scottish born geologist with a passion for pottery, playing the saxophone and looking after my two cats - Stormy & Bear.  My husband and I love travelling, and spent a couple of years living in Newfoundland, before coming back to Scotland to live in the stunning North West Highlands in a beautiful place called Gairloch, in a house which we had owned for many years as our holiday house.

​

My influence and inspirations comes from my surroundings, nature and all creatures, great and small,

​

As an emerging artist, my love of pottery began relatively recently, from a couple of lessons in Aberdeen, and Lochcarron, initially, and then meeting some very inspirational potters in Newfoundland, who got me hooked on handbuilding and sculpture.

​

I am currently a member and the Social Media Co-ordinator Trustee for the Scottish Potters Association, and a member of the Craft Potters Association. 

 

I am also so lucky to have a purpose-built studio at the side of the house, where I can disappear to for hours on end, with stunning views out over Loch Gairloch, to the Torridon Mountains.

​

Keep an eye on my website for dates for my "Open Studio" and "Pop-up Shop" days.  I can also be found occasionally at the Gairloch Thursday Market, at the Gairloch Community Centre, or at the Poolewe Village Hall Market on a Tuesday.

​

Hope to see you soon! x
