A collaborative exhibition which celebrates the work of three geologically inspired creatives working within Scotland.
A free event and pop-up shop featuring work from textile designer April Hay @agateandayre, jeweller Stefanie Cheong @stefaniecheong, and artist Vojta Hybl @rocksonpaper, who all draw inspiration from geology around Scotland, are delighted to be exhibiting together for the first time. The opening times will be from 10am-5pm, for three days only, from September 13th to 15th.
– April is the designer behind ‘Agate & Ayre’ and is passionate about sharing the beautiful Scottish landscape through digitally printed textile design. Texture, colour and tactility are key themes throughout her work – taking a stone from being a cold, hard object to a touchable, fluid textile. She handmakes accessories for fashion and home, from super soft bamboo neckwarmers to plush velvet cushion covers. April will launch two new textile designs at this exhibition, so be one of the first to see them in person! https://www.agateandayre.com/
– Vojta of ‘Rocks on Paper’ is a science artist and outdoor educator with a geology and physical geography background. He loves finding creative ways to re-imagine scientific concepts to reveal the stories hidden in rocks and the landscapes that they form. In his practice, he weaves together science with personal experiences. Vojta’s earth-inspired art, including prints, posters and more, will be available to browse and purchase at the exhibition. https://www.rocksonpaper.com/
– Stefanie is a designer and maker who explores geology and rock formations to inform her work. She brings a contemporary aesthetic to traditional lapidary process by cutting found and discarded rock and creating jewellery and objects. Often these are paired with recycled and fair trade metals. She started using Scottish found rock but recently she has also introduced making her own rocks from waste streams such as e-waste, plastics, glass and ceramics. Come along and try on Stefanie’s jewellery including her interchangable rock rings and recent Geoanthropology project featured at Collect 2024. https://www.stefaniecheong.co.uk/
