Art for Sale, Swap & Wanted

[ref]

Scotland is a country built on stories, and nowhere are those stories more vivid than when they’re captured in paint, clay, or charcoal. Whether you’re looking at the mist rolling down the Ochil Hills or a quiet moment in a Alloa living room, there’s an urge to capture the beauty of our landscape and the grit of our folk. Art isn't just something for the high-end galleries in Edinburgh; it’s the lifeblood of our homes, the soul of our communities, and the very thing that makes a house feel like a proper Scottish home. Whether you are clearing out a collection or looking for a piece that speaks to your own journey, you're in the right place.

Who should be posting here?

If you’ve got a piece of art gathering dust in the back of a cupboard, or you’re a local creator with a studio full of work, this is your platform. Maybe you’ve inherited a landscape that doesn’t quite match your decor, or perhaps you’ve been turning out beautiful pottery in your shed and need a local audience. We want people who care about keeping local art moving—selling, swapping, and sharing the creative energy that runs from the banks of the Forth right up to the highest peaks of our glens. You don’t need to be an expert; you just need to have something with a bit of heart.

What belongs here?

• Original Scottish landscape paintings and sketches (oils, watercolours, or charcoal).
• Sculptures and carved wood pieces inspired by our native flora and fauna.
• Prints from local artists capturing the character of our towns and countryside.
• Hand-thrown ceramics, pottery, and stoneware.
• Textiles or tapestries that celebrate our weaving heritage.
• Framed photography that captures the changing light over the Ochils.

How to list like a pro

To get your work sold, be honest and be detailed. Always include clear, well-lit photos—natural light is your best friend when capturing textures. Give us the backstory if you have it; a piece of art is always worth more when the buyer knows the person behind it or the place that inspired it. Be clear about the dimensions, the materials, and any damage—a wee chip in a frame isn’t the end of the world, but be upfront about it. And for my fellow Clackmannanshire residents, mention if you’re happy for folks to pop over and view it before they commit. There's nothing like seeing the brushstrokes in person to make a sale.

Whether you're looking to brighten up a dark hallway or searching for that perfect unique gift that beats anything you'd find in a high-street chain, take a look at what your neighbours have to offer. Let’s keep the creative spirit of the Wee County thriving and get some colour back on our walls.
