Bute Studio Trail 2025
This weekend!! 19-20 July 2025, 10-5pm
We look forward to welcoming you to the Isle of Bute Artists’ Collective 12th Studio Trail!
Working in glass, paint, clay, wood, ink, fabric, paper, precious metals and more, many artists will be offering original work available only here. Most will welcome you into their actual work spaces and some will be happy to give a short demonstration of their skills. Some will be selling from a venue along with other artists but all will be happy to meet you and chat.
Visiting the studios on our Trail is a fantastic way to see the island, with venues on the east, west and south coasts as well as several in the main town of Rothesay and further venues in Port Bannatyne and Kilchattan. Many are within walking distance of the ferry point and you can hire bikes on the island or take the red tour bus which will drop you off close to venue locations.
Our very own Susan Whyte (Hattie Fitsperfect) will be displaying her wonderful millinery creations and doing a demo!

The Isle of Bute Artists’ Collective is preparing to welcome you to our 11th Studio Trail in July. The friendly Isle of Bute has much to offer at any time of year but, with 35 artists taking part this year, there is a huge range of talent waiting for you on this particular weekend.

Every Anise piece has a history — from the relationship with the artisan, to the life of the wearer. We design each of our collections with the intention of creating pieces that can be passed down through generations, with minimal waste and minimal carbon footprint. Our jewelry is all made by local artisans based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with expertise in traditional methods of crafting jewelry by hand.
