Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop – REACH Scotland Residency 2026

I’m delighted to have been awarded a REACH Scotland residency that will be taking place at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop between 16 February & 15 March 2026.

Over the past year I have been developing new work with the Bings (from the Old Norse word “bingr” meaning heap) as the central character. Located in West and Mid Lothian the Bings are gigantic man-made mountains of shale – by-products of the industrial process of oil production – re-visioned as an artwork in 1975 by John Latham and now a scheduled monument and nature reserve.

During the residency I will be working on a series of material experiments with press moulded ceramic in relation to these iconic landscapes.

If you are in the area and would like to see what I’m up to please message me to arrange a visit.
