I’m Kerstin Robb, a ceramic artist based in the creative hub of Alyth.  Born in Germany, I first moved to Wales, eventually relocating to Perthshire in 1984 where I fell in love with the landscape and rural living.  My studio is within an old barn and workshop adjacent to the house where I while away many creative hours.

​

My work is both functional and decorative, created using a variety of techniques.  Each piece is tranquil, free-flowing and simplistic in nature taking inspiration from home and my love of travel.   Largely self-taught, my journey with pottery began in the 1970’s when I worked with clay during a school lesson - it quickly became my preferred medium, gaining a Pottery O’ Level for my efforts.  Continuing my journey to hone skills in slip casting, hand building, throwing and sculpting, I also attended a variety of workshops across the UK - most recently with Lee Cartledge at Bentham Pottery.   I am currently furthering my knowledge in the making of slips and glazes to explore different surface decorating techniques.

​

Throughout the years I have participated in group exhibitions across Scotland, Open Studios events, attended select fairs such as Exclusively Highlands and have work available at Glamis Gallery, Angus most of the year.  My work has found its way to homes within the UK and further afield such as Canada, USA and Japan.  I am a member of  Scottish Potters Association, Dundee Arts Society and Perthshire Artisans.
