Joanne Soroka

My work consists of woven tapestry, textiles and paperworks, mainly on the theme of my diverse ancestry. I enjoy rich colours and textures and the creation of beautiful surfaces. The work can be tiny or huge, but it is always carefully made and has won numerous awards and grants.

John P Johnston - Furniture

From his workshop near Dunbar in East Lothian, John works mainly to commission on a wide range of bespoke furniture and related timber projects. These objects mostly involve Scottish hardwoods as the main material, and sometimes incorporate small metal, slate or reclaimed materials for detail.
John's furniture can be described as clean lined, simple and highly functional. And also has a sense of robustness where the natural beauty of the timber enhances the over all design.

Julia Douglas

I am a mixed media, visual artist based near Edinburgh, Scotland. A constant inspiration for my work is the home and the relationship people have with the objects they put in their homes. I make art by exploring seemingly trivial household objects, and remake these by playfully transforming them, often using them as surrogates for the owner’s body, and, consequently drawing attention to their significance in helping to tell a story about the inhabitants’ life and the culture in which they lived.
