This view overlooks the passage of many whales, dolphins etc. See our ‘Sightings’ and ‘Diary’ pages on our website for more information.’ It is here Roger designs and makes his exciting and individual marine and wildlife jewellery based on dolphins, whales and other forms of wildlife. One of

the things that sets Roger’s jewellery apart is that ‘Groatie Buckie’ collection Seahorse Kudos New he makes ‘Flukes’ specific to individual species. His jewellery also includes seahorses, starfish, and the enigmatic shape of the eagle ray, to name but a few. Roger is constantly inspired by Orkney’s wildlife and has added the loveable puffin and the mystical hare to the collection. A very popular range is the ‘cowrie shell’ collection or, as Orcadians call it, the ‘groatie buckie’. It is looked upon as a symbol of good fortune to the lucky shell seeker, as it is not easy to find! This range also includes the Venus shell, and Limpet shell jewellery. More recently Roger has been creating a range of stunning and

intricate marine sculptures using silver, copper, driftwood and copper Handmade sculpture on driftwood mackerel stone, demand for these pieces from around the world means there’s now a years waiting list to have one made. ‘‘Your personal touch shows you care about your customer and you deserve every success.” Liz, Surrey “A Man who understands the nature of things.” Caroline, Gloucester

And while you’re here enjoy the dramatic views over Sound or marvel at the original stonework of the old house and kiln. Handbags or hedgehogs, tea cosies or teddy bears, scarves, mice, wallhangings or whatever we can think of, it is all designed, hand-felted and handmade at the Woolshed. There is also a selection of carded fleece in natural colours and an array of glorious hand dyed tops for felt-makers and spinners. Traditionally styled jumpers are hand knitted or hand framed from North Ronaldsay wool in natural colours, and, for hand knitters, this lovely soft wool is available in 100g balls. Or how about some colourful hand dyed skeins? For that special reminder of Orkney we have 100% North Ronaldsay wool woven rugs with a definite ‘cuddle’ factor, and we now have a small selection of items hand-woven at the woolshed.

You are invited to visit Fraser Anderson’s award-winning bespoke furniture and witness a craft centuries in the making. Orkney Hand Crafted Furniture specialises in the production of Orkney chairs, a design unique to the Islands, whilst also designing pieces of bespoke furniture It has been my ambition to create furniture from wood from a young age, as a Orcadian, the opportunity to craft these unique chairs has seen this ambition fulfilled. It is very satisfying to keep a long-standing tradition alive. The challenge of being able to produce Orkney chairs from natural Orcadian materials such as driftwood and straw, whilst exploring modern variations, led me to establish my business in 2004. Orkney Hand Crafted Furniture is now successfully producing traditional chair designs whilst moving the craft forward with innovative designs. As the business has developed, there is a variety of traditional and modern pieces of furniture also available such as mirrors, creepies, Orkney stools, tables, rustic furniture, Season All year cabinets, outdoor furniture Monday - Saturday and special commissions.

The ever-changing moods and colours of Orkney’s wild seas, open skies and rolling landscapes provide the inspiration for artist Ingrid Grieve, who strives to capture the essence of her island homeland through an instinctive and passionate approach to painting. Although Ingrid had long harboured a desire to work as an artist, it wasn’t until she was in her forties that she decided the moment was right to pursue her dream. Giving up full-time work, she undertook formal training at Orkney College, studying first for an HNC and then HND in art. She graduated in 2009, setting up her own studio five years later in the garden of her home in Orphir – toumal is an old Orkney dialect word meaning ‘the field belonging to the house’ – taking full advantage of the site’s spectacular views across the expanse of Scapa Flow. Immensely proud of her Orcadian heritage, Ingrid’s work is very much about place. You won’t find any people in her paintings, but she’ll often incorporate some elements of human interaction with the Orkney environment, recognising the part generations of farmers and Season May-October fishermen have played in shaping the landscape. Open Thursday and Friday Visitors are welcome at her Orphir studio, where 10.30am-5pm her work can be viewed and bought. Ingrid also Other times by arrangement.
