Whilst developing my own pottery business, sculpture and experimental work linked to the landscape and geology of Sutherland, over 60 students have studied and worked with me. Adult classes and projects for local school children are also a regular part of my work.

Support for Local Businesses

A wide range of people share their experiences of visiting the Sculpture Croft on blogs, social media and travel sites internationally.

“Lotte Glob is an internationally acclaimed ceramicist. Her world is about the beginning of things. It is a tribute to the molten source of the granites, gneisses and schists upon which she has chosen to live and work. Earth, rocks and fire are, unsurprisingly, her media and her inspiration. Using temperatures of over 1300 degrees celsius she fuses clay and rock. I run my hand over one of her famous rock books. I expect to feel heat from the pages.”
Talking Beautiful Stuff, Robin Coupland, 2013

 
 

Selected Travel Websites

“Amid the harsh beauty of the coastline, it's quite a surprise to come across this beautifully designed modern 'sculpture croft', where the resident artist takes inspiration from the sea and landscapes. Her pieces (particularly the fabulous glazed ceramics) and attitude are inspirational; take a walk around the wonderful house and studio and down to the waterside, encountering artfully placed pieces along the way.”
