Make Works: Tom Pigeon

From prints to jewellery, stationery to textiles, Fife-based creative studio Tom Pigeon design simple pieces that bring a sense of enjoyment to their owners. They also take on a range of creative commissions and consultancy work.

Find out more about their inspiration, process and beautiful studio in the video below.

Having started in education and then building up a craft business, they now run a studio designing jewellery, prints and stationery.

Through their work, they combine flat planes of colour with shiny surfaces, whether that's brass in jewellery or foil in prints.

Inspired by Kengo Kuma’s design of our building, as well as the surrounding landscape, they have designed a range of earrings, bracelets and cufflinks. Made in solid brass and Formica laminate, they are hand-crafted in East Neuk, Scotland.

Two new prints were also designed for this collection, reflecting the shapes and colours of our building and the landscape beyond.
