Barnbarroch Pottery South west of Dumfries.
Kippford, Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway, DG5 4LE. 01556 620 695
"Set up in 1978 by Rodger and Christine Smith. Christine specialises in decoration, making a range of domestic earthenware using traditional slip ware techniques, as well as making a variety of one off pieces. Birds and animals and human activities are incorporated into the colourful and often humorous designs.

Christine works as a full time potter in Galloway where most of her work is sold directly from the showroom but she also exhibits widely throughout Scotland and the UK.

The pottery on this web site is available to buy or can be made to commission. We are experienced in the packing and postage of ceramics for those unable to make the rewarding journey to Galloway to visit us."

Striding Arches
nr Moniaive, Dumfries and Galloway, 01387 247 010
www.stridingarches.com/
"A hugely innovative artist-led project which celebrates and interprets a little known area of Dumfries & Galloway in south-west Scotland. Andy Goldsworthy’s red sandstone arches ‘stride’ around the natural amphitheatre that is Cairnhead, deep in the Southern Uplands. In the heart of the glen, another arch springs from a disused farm building, The Byre, creating a place that is both sculpture and shelter."
