This summer, something rather lovely is happening in North Berwick.

In collaboration with The Scottish Gallery, we’re opening the studio doors for a Summer Exhibition and Open Studio—a celebration of fine art, exceptional craftsmanship and the joy of making, all set against the backdrop of Fringe by the Sea.

Running from 31st July to 9th August, this is your invitation to step inside and experience a meeting of disciplines in a way that feels relaxed, personal and genuinely inspiring.

At the heart of the exhibition are the luminous landscape paintings of Pascale Rentsch, an East Lothian-based artist whose work captures the shifting light and atmosphere of the local coastline with remarkable sensitivity.

Pascale paints en plein air, working directly in the landscape, and you can feel that immediacy in every piece. There’s a sense of movement, of weather, of being right there in the moment.

She’ll be joining us in the studio on selected days, and—weather permitting—you’ll even have the chance to see her work on the beach itself. It’s a rare opportunity to connect the finished paintings with the environment that inspired them.

Alongside Pascale’s paintings, we’re delighted to be showing jewellery by Dr Malcolm Appleby MBE FRSE—one of the most important figures in contemporary British silversmithing.

For more than five decades, Malcolm has pushed the boundaries of engraving, creating pieces that are intricate, original and deeply inspired by the natural world. Now in his 80th year, his work sits in collections around the world, and it’s a privilege to have it here in North Berwick.

Together, the exhibition brings painting and jewellery into conversation—two different disciplines linked by craftsmanship, observation and a deep respect for materials.

This is also very much an open studio.

Visitors are invited into my world of bespoke jewellery, remodelling and exceptional gemstones—whether that’s redesigning an inherited piece, creating something entirely new, or simply understanding what’s possible when you work closely with a jeweller.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes—how ideas become finished pieces, how old jewellery can be reimagined, or how gemstones are chosen—this is your chance to see it all a little more clearly.

It’s about sharing the process, the craftsmanship and the stories behind the pieces.
