Fantasy and Earth Ceramics

Dragons and goblins to boats and seashore, 'smokey' burners, sculptures, upcycling and much more!

Beantighe is Pam and Alun Dyson. We’re both retired and hooked on working with clay, creating from our studio in Banff, NE Scotland, with the Moray Firth just beyond the garden.

Pam leans toward figurative sculpture—local characters, dogs, animals, jewellery, tiles—often with a mischievous or humorous twist. She also heads into the fantastical: dragons, goblins, and other odd, mystical creatures. Pam works with sculpting clays and specialty glazes. “What I make is shaped by what I see, what I read, and whatever film I’ve just watched!”

Alun crafts slab-built pieces that often grow into ceramic boats and other imaginative forms paired with locally gathered driftwood. His work spans boxes, coastal designs, quirky cottages, and now and then a nod to steampunk. Lately, he’s been into gonks, decorative mirror and picture frames, or giving second-hand reject items a bold new life.

When you have a Beantighe ceramic item there is a dead cert it will be the only one in the world!
