Karen & Claire Gibson – Red Earth Designs

2026 – Taking part in Potfest Scotland – Scone Palace

Porcelain creations inspired by a love of the the natural world and it’s beautiful creatures, such as sea urchins and also animal skulls or horns and bones. We adore entomology, animals and nostalgic items such as old milk bottles, specimen bottles, bulbs and flasks.

Many years ago we salvaged some excellent examples from a school chemistry lab and the mould making began..

We love to draw insects and botanicals and adorn our pottery with the imagery, creating curiosities reminiscent of entomology samples or specimen flasks.

Another aspect of our work in porcelain is creating ‘porcelain doll heads’ with hand built additions such as horns or keys protruding from the heads… each one is completely unique and we undertake commissions for specific characters…they are very popular..:)
