Hosted by Ica Headlam, Creative Me Podcast has partnered with North Lands Creative to bring a series of conversations with glass artists across Europe. Part of ISGNE Glass Lives Week 2020 at North Lands Creative, each episode explores an individual’s personal and professional development along with their passion for working with glass. These conversations were made possible with the support from our funding partners Creative Scotland and Creative Europe.

Pinkie Maclure is an artist and musician based in Scotland who specialises in working with stained glass. We discussed how Pinkie developed an interest in working with stained glass and some of the challenges involved with the process along with the themes conveyed in her work and how she has developed a sustainable career path as an artist in Scotland.

ARTIST BIO
PINKIE MACLURE

Stained glass artist Pinkie Maclure grew up in a small fishing town in the north-east of Scotland.

The slow, painstaking processes of painting, sandblasting, diamond filing, engraving, layering, firing and repainting allows her time to explore her subconscious; wry observations of the world emerge through her unique artistic approach, using stained glass like a comic strip or collage, tackling contemporary subject matter that both seduces and challenges the viewer. Pinkie has been the recipient of a number of awards and her work has been bought by the National Museum of Scotland, NHS Lothian and a CEO of Bonhams, among others.
