Myths, Legends & Lore

Designs based on Scottish myths, folklore and natural phenomena, drawing on recognisable silhouettes and elemental forms, prepared in the studio and translated into clear, balanced engravings for glass.

Each piece is hand-sandblasted, with optional personalisation added as a single, considered inscription.

From Artwork to Engraving

Each commission follows the same studio process, from artwork preparation and proof approval through to hand sandblasting and finishing in our Fife workshop.

Traditional Sandblasting

Each piece is engraved by hand using traditional sandblast techniques.

The Story Behind the Collection

Engravings shaped by familiar figures and phenomena from Scotland and the North, from the long form of the Loch Ness Monster to the shifting bands of the northern lights, influencing how each design is composed and spaced across the surface of the glass.

Line weight, contrast and negative space are carefully controlled to maintain clarity, allowing detailed subjects to remain legible while retaining their distinctive form when engraved.
