Flux

2 July 2026 - 25 July 2026

This July, we welcome Flux, a major exhibition of new ceramics by Doug Fitch and Hannah McAndrew.

Working together from their home and workshop in rural Dumfries and Galloway, Doug and Hannah draw on the rich traditions of British slipware pottery while bringing a fresh and distinctive voice to the medium. Doug’s endlessly inventive pots and Hannah’s beautifully observed surface decoration, inspired by the natural world, come together in work that is immersed in a great pottery tradition and wonderfully alive. Full of character, craftsmanship and imagination, Flux celebrates one of Britain’s most admired contemporary ceramic partnerships.

About Douglas Fitch & Hannah McAndrew

Born: 1964 & 1977

Doug Fitch (b.1964) and Hannah McAndrew (b.1977) are internationally renowned potters who live and work in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Doug and Hannah were brought together by a shared love of slip decorated earthenware and historical, traditional pottery.

They enjoy life with their two young children, in their home and workshop with wood-fired kiln which is hidden away in the beautiful Scottish countryside.

In 2013, Hannah and I became partners in life and in business. We are long established studio potters specialising in slipware and we work from our studio and home in Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway. Our styles complement, as we have evolved from similar influences, but our work is also distinct from the another. We exhibit and travel regularly to Japan and throughout the USA. Hannah and I share materials: we both work in red earthenware, decorated with a self-imposed restricted palette of coloured slips, covered with rich honey glazes. The pots are fired in the wood kiln, which we stoke continuously for up to twenty hours. It’s a strange thing, to be excited by something as simple as a brown clay jug and I can’t explain it, but it seems that it happens to some people; it just gets under your skin. Our life is our work and our work is our life – we live and we breathe pottery. – Douglas Fitch
