meet the maker evening

A pic from last night's meet the maker evening with ceramic artist Ceri White. Ceri even did an interview with Perth FM during the evening. What a pro! Thanks to everybody who managed to make it along.

Ceri (above) with some of her work behind her. On display are lots of small pieces that we don't usually have here at boo vake including many small hanging tiles, soap dishes, and a whole range of ceramic badges with owls, dogs, abstract designs & demi-wave ladies on them! We also have the very striking big brother of the urban mosaic - measuring about 33cm x 33cm. The (mini) exhibition will run now until the shop closes on Wednesday May 26th (yes, that's next Wednesday!).
coasters £7.50, small hanging tiles (flock animal, landscape, boats, vessel, ivory towers) start at £9, ceramic badges from £10, soap dishes £20-£22, large urban mosaic £150

this thursday...

Come along if you can make it - we'd love to see you!

ceri white mini exhibition

It's May!!... and Perth Festival of the Arts will soon be upon us. This year boo vake will be taking part with a mini exhibition by Perthshire ceramic artist Ceri White between 20th-26th May. You will no doubt be familiar with Ceri's fabulous dog/horse/stag 'flock' wall tiles and colourful mix'n'match ceramic coasters if you are a regular visitor to the shop. Ceri will be showing a range of work not usually shown here at boo vake and there will be an opportunity to commission work from her direct on the evening of May 20th. Fancy a tile made of your favourite pooch or have a tiling project in mind - now is your chance!

More details coming soon.....

perthshire open studios - ceri white

The Perthshire Open Studios event started at the weekend and runs until next Sunday. We managed to visit a few venues on Sunday including that of boo vake favourite Ceri White (above!) at Baldinnies near Dunning. The highlight for me was finding out how she does her animal 'flock' tiles (I've spent many a quiet moment pondering this!) .... and was impressed to find out that it's all down to good old-fashioned time-consuming labour-intensive fiddly stuff!!!
If you want to visit Ceri or any of the other artists & makers taking part most venues are open daily from 10-5 right up to and including Sunday the 5th.
