Stunning and sustainable.
Metal, steel, iron ... not necessarily materials you would associate with creativity, nature, and a sense of fun!

But Cath Kerr's intuitive sense of how reclaimed metal objects can take on a new life in sculpture is just divine.

Sunny, bright, crisp days.
Sombre, grey, moody days.
Whatever the day, whatever the mood ... the bold, vibrant and elevating colours of Clarabella Christie will inspire and delight ... here on the Clyde Coast, at my little gallery here in Largs (only Scottish artists & designers)

I can't imagine that there's anyone who hasn't fallen in love with Arran - whether from afar or atop!
We love the evocative work from @jessmacdonaldbrass - memories and emotions brought to mind by Jess's stunning silver jewellery.
Delighted to have a collection of Jess's work here @grinnarts

A very smiley start to the week - smiley fishes, sheeps, foxes, humans and more!
Esp for those who've seen some of the stunning porpoise and dolphin displays around Largs!

The anonymous artist, known as 'A Sign of Humour', has been in Largs :)

According to the BBC: "He says the main goal is to spark joy"

It did make us smile :)

Wild things
Charlotte Strawbridge is a contemporary artist and writer, based in Stirlingshire.
Her work is deeply rooted in the natural world, drawing inspiration from the rich flora and fauna of the British countryside and the rugged beauty of Scottish landscapes.

Grinn Arts & Design @grinnarts.bsky.social · Aug 6

Vibrant, evocative seascapes.
Claire Wills themes revolve around the beauty of nature, particularly seascapes and landscapes, which she explores through bold layering of color, texture, patterns, and mark-making.

Wearable art.

Is it possible to have too much jewellery? And as wardrobe staples go, they take up such little space!

We love these Jenni Douglas designs - stylish, classic Scottish designs.

Colours soooooooooooo scrumptious!
Some new Scottish (of course!) designs in the gallery, including almost ice-creamy (perfect for Largs!) coloured candles, vivid butterfly ornaments and garlands, the pinkiest and purpliest jewellery! Scrumptious Scottish summer!

Ruth Scott’s paintings are contemporary land and seascapes, favouring dramatic skies.
Inspired by the dramatic Clyde Coast, she works predominantly in acrylics, mixing her palette as she works on the canvas.
A selection of Ruth's work is available at Grinn Arts & Design through the summer.

When the weather is less than ideal, find something to keep your mind, body or spirit (or all 3!) cozy … a gorgeous pot, a delightful picture, a happy fish, a warm throw …

Grinn Arts & Design @grinnarts.bsky.social · Jun 29

Mermaid mugs, jingle lid cookie jars, seashell jugs, shell spoons, "I'm in love with the sea" ornaments ... made by hand and inspired by the sea. Aren't they just divine?!

Cath Waters captures Scotland's coasts, shorelines, skies with gentle greys, muted greens, sultry blues and delicate purples.
Who doesn't love art that's magical, evocative, and even wearable!
Gorgeous new pieces just in @grinnarts in Largs.

One of the themes running through the collections here @grinnarts is artists' celebrations of Scotland's uniquely compelling natural world. The latent life of wood, refreshed and re-engaged in these bowls and platters by Mark Sutton. #madeinscotland #scottishartistsandmakers

The first time I saw @moymackay's work, I fell in love.
The vibrant colours and depthful textures just bring pure happiness when I look at them.
A wee selection is now available @grinnarts, and I'm just delighted! #feltedpaintings #scottishartistsandmakers #largs #shoplargs #largsscotland

When the sky is a bit grey, and the forecast is a bit murky, and all your day's plans end up 'up in the air', you need something cheerful to brighten things up!
