Emma Louise Wilson

Emma Louise Wilson draws her primary inspiration from the sea and coastline surrounding Aberdeen. She creates hand-raised silver bowls, designed to recall the feeling of finding the perfect pebble and standing looking at the sea. Each bowl is decorated with vitreous enamel based on her watercolour paintings of the coast. These are abstracted and refined until they capture the feeling of place, a glimpsed memory or moment in time.  

Emma studied 3D Design at Gray's School of Art (Aberdeen), specialising in metalwork and enamel. After graduating in 1995, she spent three years as a designer-jeweller in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter before returning to Scotland. Emma is a member of Design Nation and has exhibited across Scotland and the UK.
