What's On | December 2023
Victoria Crowe | Low Winter Sun
30 November - 23 December
This December, Victoria Crowe brings us Low Winter Sun as a fitting way to end the year and mark our own winter solstice. Developed over the last two years, the exhibition charts the artist’s journey from her home and studio in the Scottish Borders to the islands of Orkney and back again. The exhibition reflects the artist’s ability to communicate her outstanding practice in all media. The exhibition also reveals a major new gun-tufted rug, created in collaboration with Dovecot Studios. A podcast and several short films are available below and you can read the full article on Low Winter Sun featured in Scottish Field here.
Fitch & McAndrew | Cohesion
30 November - 23 December
Douglas Fitch and Hannah McAndrew are internationally renowned potters who live and work in Dumfries and Galloway and Cohesion marks their first solo exhibition with The Scottish Gallery. Both potters draw inspiration from pots of the past, taking influences from the ancient British folk heritage of medieval and country pottery and seventeenth century Staffordshire slipware.
Cohesion brings both artist’s work to the fore. It’s a strange thing, to be excited by something as simple as a brown clay jug and I can’t explain it, but it seems that it happens to some people; it just gets under your skin. Our life is our work, and our work is our life – we live, and we breathe pottery. Fitch & McAndrew

Susan Horth | Animal Magic
30 November - 23 December
Discover the Animal Magic this December as we welcome Susan Horth's first solo exhibition with The Gallery.
I have always found solace in observing nature - its colours, textures and forms. Green wild places, the sea and the creatures that inhabit them are the most precious things we have. Every creature has its own beauty. Susan Horth
The Scottish Gallery brings together an exciting collection of jewellery to end the year on a creative high - we have new collections by: Grainne Morton, Rachel Larkins, Malcolm Appleby, Guy Royle and Joanne Thompson.
