Thermo ft. Rayner Brothers

Scallywag features the work of ceramic artists, Paul and Mark Rayner (The Rayner Brothers) and operates under the umbrella of Thermostat Gallery.

Clever, comical and highly entertaining, the Rayners are regular exhibitors at Thermostat. It is hoped that the new Scallywag window gallery will allow the opportunity to create themed collections that relate to topical issues or events as is often the style of the Rayners. It will be a case of “watch this space.”

Each piece is hand crafted, fired and glazed, signed and dated, resulting in a unique clay artwork. All pieces are for sale and can be purchased by contacting Thermostat Gallery on 027 672 4914 (text or ring) within normal business hours (9am – 5pm) or call around to Thermostat (upstairs above Recycle Boutique) during open hours:

Wed – Fri 11am – 4pm, Sat 11am – 2pm.
