Beantighe

Beantighe are Pam and Alun Dyson. We are both part time potters with a love of creating with clay. We work from a studio in Banff, NE Scotland, overlooking our garden on the Moray Firth.

Pam's sculptures are figurative from local characters, dogs, jewellery to tiles, occasionally with a comical twist. I'm also into mystical figures, dragons, goblins and strange beings. All work uses sculpting clays and speciality glazes. My creations are influenced by my surroundings, reading matter and the last film that I have watched!

Alun's work varies from ceramic boats to boxes with crossover into fantasy and pieces incorporating driftwood that is collected locally. His influence are from 'life', recent events and his observations of the environment. Alun also looks after the Beantighe glazing and firing from our own kilns.

We use sculpting clays and specialty glazes.

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

Part of our sales income is donated to Deveron District Age Concern.
