Spotlight on ......... Speyside Images

Speyside Images is run by Peter Harvey who settled in Speyside in the late 1990's after a career in the music industry in England.

Whilst working on musical projects, he began producing prints and cards using the many photographic images he was taking all over Speyside, Moray and beyond. Finding an encouraging response from locals and tourists, he has continued to expand his range which now includes panoramic cards and signed, limited edition panoramic prints and a range of more abstract images called Photo Mandalas.

He has exhibited in two galleries in Aberdeen, where he also works part time as a picture framer and pianist.

Peter can be contacted on plharvey@btinternet.com

Spotlight on ......... Lazy Daisy Glass

Lazy Daisy Glass is run by Kathryn Abrahams from her rural studio near Speyside. Inspirations for her designs are taken from the sea and surf that surrounds us all. Kathryn has been living in Scotland for 7 years and decided to make a career change when her daughter was born.

Kathryn invested in her first kiln, bought some books and started experimenting in various techniques of glass art. Business has grown over the months since attending her first trade fair in 2009 and this has enabled her to invest in a second, and larger kiln. The size of the new kiln has brought many more opportunities for creating sculptures and large scale wall art. Her range has also expanded to include wall art, clocks, coasters and jewellery. She now attends trade shows and local craft events selling her wares.
