Ceramics In The City...


In need of a vibrant city weekend? Join me and the girls in our glorious capital on 23-26 May!  I'll be exhibiting my ceramics alongside my talented friends Sonas Maclean and Kate Shearer at the fabulous Dundas Street Gallery, 6 Dundas Street, Edinburgh.  You can also wander the cobbled streets of the Old Town, plan a picnic in Princess Street Gardens, shop till you drop, indulge in coffee, cake and conversation in a bustling cafe, soak up the culture and...well, the list is endless.  Meanwhile, here's a preview of some of the latest pieces I'll be showcasing in Edinburgh...


You can also view and buy work by me - Karen Edward @ Funky Scottish - via www.funkyscottish.com or via my Etsy page at www.etsy.com/shop/WeeFunkyScottish

Rainy Springtime Days Are For...


....high tea in your favourite seaside fish & chip shop!  This plate is a recent celebratory commission featuring the award winning Anstruther Fish Bar.  Fresh, sustainably caught fish, chunky chips, bread & butter on the side, a big mug of tea and views of fishing boats coming and going from the harbour.  Perfect!!  I'm looking forward to working on more projects featuring this award winning, local fish & chip shop very soon! 

If you'd like me to produce a special commission for you, a loved one, client or business, please just get and touch with me at Funky Scottish.

If you feel the need to show your home a little more love, it may be time to say it with flowers! Freshen the place up with some funky ceremaics from my new Coastal Daisy range.  Here are a few ideas to put a spring in your step....

Acoustic Wave Cafe - Saturday 27th April


With all the festivities of Easter behind us, I'm already looking forward to another exciting date for the diary!  On Saturday 27th April, the next Acoustic Wave Cafe washes up on the shores of St Monans.  A pop-up cafe in an atmospheric waterfront kitchen/studio/dining space on the harbour, this is a truly intimate soiree featuring 'beautiful music, delicious food and awesome art....by the sea'.  I'm very excited about this latest event for 3 reasons...

Beautiful Music...

The Acoustic Wave Cafe has hosted several fantastic singer-songwriters over the years.  This time, the live acoustic set will see the return of singer-songwriter James Lowe. Here's what  the media have said about this talented musician... 

"Beautiful...and indeed very radio friendly" - BBC Radio Scotland
"Don't miss this rising star" - Edinburgh Evening News

James is giving a live and exclusive performance of brand new songs from his EP, Midshore.  Want a sneak preview?  Listen to the incredibly catchy lyrics and melody of 'Rain Dance'. 
 

Delicious Food...

The imaginative and vibrant 3-course set menu is created and served by The Elemental Kitchen, who specialise in providing bespoke hospitality in your own private setting.  I've enjoyed this experience twice before and can confirm that the food is truly exquisite!

 


Awesome Art - By The Sea...

This time, I'm delighted to be returning as featured artist (for the second time) to showcase some of my latest work.  It's such a lovely atmosphere and a great day out, I didn't have to think twice.
