Bain Design Podcast
Imagine having a bright, intricate bowl with a Celtic design as the centrepiece of your home. You would surely want to showcase it, right?
If you had visited the home of Celtic artist and educator George Bain in Drumnadrochit during the 1940s, you would have been amazed by the various everyday household objects that featured this style. Jo Clements, our former George Bain Curator, envisioned what it might have been like to encounter such a bowl in Bain’s home. She also explores the inspiration behind the bowl in the latest episode of the Highland Objects podcast.
