Àite Naomh / Sacred Place is an exhibition showing the original drawings and prints produced from a funded residency on the Isle of Iona through the Columcille Legacy Award and the subsequent installation entitled Leabaidh rìoghail do Chalum Cille / A royal bed for Columba at Cobhan Cùildeach (The Hermits Cell) funded by VACMA award. Both awards were administered by CHARTS.

I grew up in Argyll on the Kilmahew Estate, Cardross, trained at Glasgow School of Art and recently moved to Edinburgh. I am delighted to be able to show this work at Thomson’s Tower at Dr Neil’s Garden and look forward to spending time in the garden drawing.

This exhibition features pieces by Jane Raven produced during a ceramics throwing course she attended in Tuscany in early 2023. The pieces will be accompanied by still-life photos taken by Jane of the ceramics, which she has turned into prints involving collage.

There will also be a few pieces of mosaic on display by the well-known mosaic artist Helen Miles.
