To all our visitors to Maker over the Central Fife Open Studios weekend on 1st and 2nd September. Your interest and enthusiasm in our work, and your continued support of artists and makers in Central Fife was inspirational! Many of you took the time to listen to us talk about our work, as well as admiring it, and that is incredibly helpful in itself for our creative process. Our individual web and facebook sites are:

Karen Trotter – “To Reveal and Make New”

Events, Festive Makers Market 2015

IMG_2195“Textures of tide and time fascinate me. Rust, splintered boats and batteries, driftwood, beaks, bones, bottle tops, feathers, glass, rope and seaweed find their place in my works, re-crafted with mosaic, abstracted in paint. My art results from the compulsion to comb beaches; to search, to reveal and to make new”

 

Karen Trotter will be joining us at the Inverkeithing Festive Makers Market on Saturday 12th December 11AM – 4.30PM to show and sell her fascinating and highly original mixed media artworks. She has been a participants, along with other North Queensferry makers, at all of our Markets in Inverkeithing, and we are delighted to once again welcome these wonderfully creative folk living and working in South West Fife!
