I'm Fiona...
I founded Camban Studio in 2018 to share my passion for design, colour, texture, print, pattern, beautiful materials. and the natural beauty of my home landscape in Scotland.
I graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in Product Design and then went on to train as a Jeweller, working on commissioned fine jewellery pieces. I now work from my studio at Deemouth Artist Studios, Aberdeen, having returned to a childhood love of textiles and hand stitch.
This is Camban Bothy...
GRID REF: LR 33: NH 0533
bothy, (ˈbɒθi/), noun
(in Scotland) a small hut or cottage, especially one for housing farm labourers or for use as a mountain refuge.
Camban Bothy is located at the far West end of Glen Affric -part of the Clan Chisholm lands from the 15th to the mid 19th centuries. Chisholm is my maiden name, so I'm Clan Chisholm, hence the name Camban Studio!
