About Pauline

Pauline graduated from Glasgow School of Art with a 1st class honours degree in Jewellery and Silversmithing. Pauline is based in West Lothian and is currently undertaking a one year residency at Bishopland, Oxfordshire, a post-graduate training workshop for silversmiths and jewellers.

Pauline’s vision

Pauline’s work is inspired by childhood stories and illustrations. Working mainly in porcelain and silver, she aims to show the curious communicative nature of handmade forms. Her delicate, other-worldly drawings depict fairy tale scenarios: elements from the tales of Little Red Riding Hood, the three bears, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel all feature in her nostalgic designs.

The creative development process is important to Pauline’s work, particularly drawing and sketching, and a number of her pieces include drawings transferred onto the porcelain. Sketchbooks charting her design process are on display in the exhibition.
