The Steeple is an award-winning arts facility in Newburgh, a picturesque town on the south bank of the River Tay in north east Fife.

Wasps renovated the former Town Hall, Town House and Corn Exchange in 2008, to provide eight studios spaces and a project/events space.

The Steeple is right at the heart of this creative community, and plays host to classes, events and exhibitions, engaging local people in the arts while acting as a focal point for artists from Newburgh and the surrounding areas.

Gavin Burnett is a ceramicist specialising in porcelain. He has said of working at The Steeple:

‘Over the years, I have worked in several studios across North Fife, but my current space at The Steeple offers an ideal combination of scale, accessibility, and comfort. Since 2019, I have been based in a ground floor studio featuring floor to ceiling windows and direct access to an outdoor courtyard. This purpose built environment supports the full scope of my practice, where I create each piece individually using both wheel throwing and slip casting techniques.

Within the studio, I produce my own plaster moulds, glazes and coloured porcelain slips, while all carving and kiln firings are also carried out on site. The dedicated nature of the space enables me to focus fully on the design, making, and refinement of my work, while also allowing uninterrupted time to prepare for forthcoming exhibitions, commissions and design markets’.
