Agnes Guinebert

I work in steel and create unique sculptures of animals and abstract pieces. Inspiration is drawn from nature, and a fascination for movement, fluidity, lightness and texture. Humour also plays an important part in the creation process, which hopefully is revealed in my work. For me, metal has still an element of surprise and adaptability is crucial. Scale can vary from small items to life-size artwork.

Alex Rigg - Oceanallover

Trevor Leat and Alex Rigg create and build furniture using natural materials. Our combination of willow-weaving techniques and construction using Scottish hard-wood give a sense of scale and solidity. The sculptural qualities of the materials are used in combination with bold, figurative design to give a strong presence to each individual piece.

Alexander Hamilton

Alex has a very different view of the world, informed by many years creating theatrical devices intended to deceive.

There is a dramatic element to his work enhanced by the use of a wide variety of media, frequently combining a diversity of materials. Leather may be allied with gold leaf, ink with aluminium, flotsam and architectural salvage with acrylic colours.

Alice Boden - Tweedmatters

Based on the shore of Loch Broom in the north west Highlands of Scotland, I design and make a range of framed collages and greetings cards which are also suitable for framing. I like to use my own handmade papers, Harris Tweed and other materials. I think of them as small mementos of the bigger picture.

Alison Macdonald - Tweed Delights

Tweed Delights came about after I discovered some forgotten remnants of Harris Tweed in the back of a cupboard. Inspired by my children's toys, I began to design a range of gift ideas to suit the whole family. I use Gaelic where I can in my range, which also includes handmade cards, bookmarks, applique pictures etc.
