Adrian McColgan
Based at his home studio in Lisburn, Adrian McColgan has been producing bespoke hand made tableware for almost 2 decades. Trained in the production of small batch throwing, precision and quality craftsmanship are both important elements in Adrian's work. Each piece is hand thrown on a potter's wheel using stoneware clays, then glazed and fired in an electric kiln at his pottery studio. His intention is to create something beautiful that is both functional and durable, a piece to be enjoyed in your home everyday.
Porcelain White
Rooted in a lifelong love of clay, Lynne Dyson studied at Bath Academy of Art before specialising in ceramics during her MA in Cardiff. Each piece is handmade from porcelain stoneware, shaped by the seascapes, waves, rocks and pebbles of the Antrim shore. Lynne's signature glazes bring together her passion for ceramics
Maud McArthur
Maud McArthur paints with the raw energy of the Northern Irish landscape — dramatic coastlines, stormy skies and the restless power of the elements that surround her. Each piece captures a moment of nature at its most alive, translated into bold, expressive colour. Curated to complement our signature palette, Maud's works are more than art — they're a conversation starter, a mood-setter, and a lasting focal point for your home.
Lauren Kelso
Lauren Kelso is an award-winning illustrator from Ballymena, Northern Ireland, who thrives on the unexpected. Working with ink, cocktail sticks and hand-crafted paper textures, she blends analogue and digital techniques to create illustrations that are textured, intuitive and full of personality. No two pieces are quite the same — and that's exactly the point. Her prints bring a playful, distinctive energy to any space.
