An Exhibition by Georgie Fay and Jenny Jubb
This spring, Trimontium Museum presents Landscape Offerings — a contemplative exhibition inspired by archaeology, memory, and the enduring presence of place.
Bringing together the work of participatory artist and printmaker Georgie Fay and ceramicist Jenny Jubb of Fernweh Pottery, the exhibition responds to the layered histories of Trimontium and the Scottish Borders landscape. Through print, texture, glaze, and form, the artists explore what remains — and what is remembered — in the landscapes we inherit.
About the Exhibition
Archaeology is not only about excavation — it is about listening.
Landscape Offerings invites visitors to reflect on the traces of those who once walked these lands, whose stories linger quietly beneath the surface. Drawing inspiration from Trimontium’s Roman heritage and the wider Borders landscape, Fay and Jubb each respond to themes of memory, migration, belonging, and material connection.
Through layered imagery, surface texture, and hand-thrown forms, this exhibition considers how we honour the forgotten and how we continue to shape the places we call home.
Opening Evening – 2 April 2026
Join us on the evening of 2 April for the opening of Landscape Offerings.
Meet the artists, explore the exhibition after hours, and experience Trimontium’s galleries in a new light as contemporary art meets ancient landscape.
Further details and booking information coming soon.
Georgie Fay
Georgie Fay is a participatory artist and printmaker based in Scotland. At the core of her artistic vision is a search for place and connections, in landscape and history. She explores critical themes like the mounting tensions between humankind and nature, and the importance of memory and place. Her explorations derive from her personal experiences whether that be recently visited historic heritage sites, migrating flight patterns or journeys undertaken; she engages in the everyday, and seeks to connect with others through these observations and journeys.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Georgie is drawn to places that tell a story about who once existed there and whose memories have been forgotten. She seeks to celebrate the lost and overlooked communities of the past, to elevate their experiences, sharing them in the hope that people may be moved to recognise the forgotten in their own places. Georgie works with photography, archives and found artefacts as inspiration which is then translated through material exploration, particularly engaged in layers and surface texture. She likes to layer imagery with drawing and mark making to create imagined landscapes, in which the viewer can find their own personal connections.
Jenny Jubb
Fernweh Pottery
Scottish Based Ceramicist
Jenny Jubb is a self-taught ceramic artist based in Scotland. She makes handmade stoneware ceramics including mugs, bowls, jugs and plates bringing that pop of colour and joy into the home. Each piece is lovingly handcrafted on the potter’s wheel, hand glazed and unique with slight variations celebrated as part of its handcrafted nature. All ceramics are made and fired in her pottery studio in Innerleithen, Scottish Borders. The name “Fernweh” refers to a German word meaning a longing for far away places or wanderlust, which often inspires the glaze application and decoration. Her collection explores functional forms while keeping the ceramics lightweight and timeless works of art.
