Heather McDermott is a contemporary jeweller from the Isle of Skye, now based from her shop in Callander. She specialises in working with stainless steel, silver and gold - creating statement pieces that are sculptural yet wearable.  

Heather’s current work is inspired by the coastlines of her island home and in particular how flotsam clusters on the beach. She describes the tideline of Skye as a “treasure trove” of unique objects discarded from the urban environment and deposited by the power of the Hebridean swell.  

Heather holds an MA from Edinburgh College of Art and has exhibited in the UK and internationally. These include Goldsmiths’ Fair and Dazzle, and her collections are stocked in key UK galleries including The Scottish Gallery (Edinburgh) and The Biscuit Factory (Newcastle).
