1250° Exhibition by Amy Benzie Ceramics

Artist Amy Benzie transforms clay into a striking display of handcrafted ceramic tiles.

Made from richly textured terracotta clay and shaped through a series of firings, each tile captures subtle variations in colour and form, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship and the unexpected moments that emerge during the making process.

Come and experience it for yourself.

As the GHAT Collection team wraps up the Sustain:Engage project, we wanted to take the time to share some of the work we’ve been doing.

We have been working with assistant curators Scott Smith and Abygael Urquhart, and NHSG staff to curate the Jubilee Hospital in Huntly, and the physiotherapy department in Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin.

Last month, the Collection team interviewed Aby and Scott to hear how they felt about their respective curatorial projects.

🔥 Now Open: 1250° by Amy Benzie Ceramics 🔥

Discover the transformative power of clay, glaze and fire in 1250°, a new exhibition by ceramic artist Amy Benzie at The Suttie Arts Space.

Inspired by the connections between art, science and experimentation, Amy’s stunning installation celebrates the textures, colours and unexpected outcomes that emerge through the firing process. Each piece reflects the beauty of natural materials and the patience, care and curiosity at the heart of ceramic practice.

The exhibition title, 1250°, refers to the minimum temperature needed to mature the clay during firing, a moment of transformation where raw material becomes something entirely new.
