What a pleasure it is to welcome three wonderful Scottish makers to join us at Made.
RED RUBY ROSE
Red Ruby Rose was created in 2008 by designer/maker Rowena Dugdale. Rowena studied textile design at Edinburgh College of Art and many of the fabrics featured are her original designs. Inspiration comes from her photographic and alternative-process techniques including photogram and pinhole photography, and also her collage work which draws on layered organic images from natural forms such as petals and feathers. Each piece is designed and handmade in Rowena’s design studio by the sea in Wester Ross, Scotland.
CARLA EDWARDS
Carla designs and makes contemporary jewellery from her workshop in Leith, Edinburgh.
Inspiration comes from a love of the natural world, pattern, colour and drawing. The small details of plants fascinate Carla and she enjoys translating elements of drawings into wearable jewellery. Pieces are influenced by sketches from her garden, walks in the woods and the famous Royal Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh.
PORTIA KNIGHT
A New Zealander living in the UK for many years, Portia has always loved Scotland — the landscape, the big sky and the people. Her home on the north east coast is a refuge, and her interest in the art of seaweeding grew from reading about its Victorian ‘seaweed hunting’ roots and a growing desire to pursue creativity here by the sea shore. Portia’s card sets are exquisitely printed on 350gsm FSC certified matt white card including UK made recycled ivory fleck envelopes.
