After a career of teaching music in Scottish schools, I took up pottery at night classes and became hooked enough to complete a B.A . Hons in Ceramics at the iconic Glasgow School of Art. It was here that I made many connections with wonderful potters the world over, and received a brilliant education in this magical material. I aim to show my delight in ceramic form , texture and colour with great attention to detail and concern for the practical use of functional pieces. I also love to experiment with the expressive and imaginative possibilities of glaze in purely abstract work. From 2007 -2019 my husband and I lived in Stromness, in the Northern Isles of Orkney. Here we were drawn by an amazing landscape, constant reminders of its Neolithic past, and by its unique cultural and natural heritage. Grounded in agriculture and fishery, submitting to the limitations of island life and the often very challenging weather, there is a discipline in living here which corresponds to working with clay- one cannot control everything but must work with what is given. In 2019 we moved south to the Scottish Borders to be closer to family. From being surrounded by sea, we are now in the most landlocked area of Scotland and surrounded by trees! If you are interested in buying my work, want to commission a special piece, or are interested in lessons, please use my Contacts page. Studio visits can be made by appointment and I also teach individuals and small groups, so whether you are local or a visitor, perhaps we will meet one way or another!

Hello! My name is Asha and I am the creator and owner of Babooche Calligraphy. I specialise in custom calligraphy, illustration and stationery for weddings, special events and small businesses. Inspired by the sea and nature I have developed an organic feel to my designs which are “lovingly handmade, simple, natural and timeless”. Having lived by the sea and surrounded by British countryside for most of my life, my aim is to bring a sense of fresh air and calmness for brides and businesses looking for simple design and elegant calligraphy. When I am not busy in the studio working on orders and creating new pieces with my beautiful tools, I love to travel and explore the world and learn about different cultures and people.At Babooche Calligraphy we acknowledge that there are very few people that make their products with their hands. Machines and technology have taken over most of the world and at Babooche Calligraphy we are trying to hold on firmly to the idea and notion of all things ‘Lovingly Handmade’. Our calligraphy is written by hand. We use ink that has been mixed by hand. We love to use paper that has been made by hand. Our letterpress and hot foil presses are operated by hand and foot!
