Florence Pearson

I am a Fine Art Graduate from Glasgow School of Art living full-time on the Isle of North Uist.

My creative practice is diverse and inspired by nature, and ranges in media from digital and experimental photography – to making hand-crafted jewellery using both natural and recycled materials, as well as Fine and Sterling Silver.

My workshop is based in the Beacon Craft Studio – a disused aviation radio station that has been converted into a studio. The Beacon Craft Studio is open to exhibit and sell the work of a small group of local artists/craft-makers during the summer months (open April-August 2011, Monday-Friday 1pm-5pm).
