Scottish designer/maker Tina MacLeod creates tactile pieces of jewellery that evoke a sense of place. The concept of the island and the unique atmosphere of the Hebridean coastal woodland are central to her work, capturing an essence of that sensed but unexplained aura often experienced within the forest.

By using precious metal techniques that produce delicate but deliberate layers of surface texture, she is able to convey a sense of the ephemeral nature of the living landscape.

Tina returned to the West Highlands to set up her studio in 2015 after graduating from The Glasgow School of Art.

Tina was one of six Scottish designers selected to take part in the Crafts Council Hothouse 2016 programme.
