Welcome to The Mission House Studio, the studioand gallery of Beka Globe - Photographer and Nickolai Globe - Ceramic Artist. In the studio, overlooking the desolate and stunning rocky landscape of Harris, Beka’s stark photographs float off the stone walls, suspended by high tensile wires. Nickolai’s ceramics range from functional stoneware to abstract sculptural work. They are displayed on furniture, fashioned from the old timbers and reclaimed materials from the Church conversion. Music reverberates through the space. The photographic work of Beka Globe, a traditionally trained photographer, captures the both the subtle and harsh elements of the Hebridean landscape. Finding an emotive vastness, depth and simplicity, her silent images are moving, stirring a particular sense of place. The ceramic works of Nickolai Globe are influenced directly by the environment of the rugged North West. Drawing from elements of Zen and the unpredictable, his work reflects rather than emulates nature.

Inspired by the Atlantic coastline, I create unique stoneware ceramic sculptures and vessels from my Hebridean home on the Isle of North Uist. Natural beach-weathered sea fragments, abandoned at the high-tide line, provide some of the natural textures captured on the surface of the clay. Some pieces of work are enriched with locally gathered beach sands and rock sediments, which once fired in the kiln, transforms into rich warm chestnut tones, creating a truly unique Hebridean gift. The Gallery also exhibits original art works from several North Uist artists.
