Doodles
A ceramic journey wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Doodles, Edinburgh’s oldest pottery-painting studio. After choosing from a selection of ceramics, paint your heart out and they will fire your design so it lasts forever. With group options for all ages and a BYOB policy, it’s a great excuse to grab a brush and your favourite tipple before savouring a creative moment with friends.
Doodles, 27–29 Marchmont Crescent, Edinburgh.
Kim Plimley
Kim Plimley creates small-batch ceramics in her Glasgow studio to stunning effect. With contrasting crackle-glazed quaichs, reminiscent of the rugged Highlands, and beautifully blended greens in her Seagrass collection, these unique pieces make a quietly captivating statement.
