Resurrection
The Wemyss name was resurrected in the 1980s when Griselda Hill became interested in pottery while teaching art in London. After seeing Wemyss Ware in Kirkcaldy Museum, she became interested in creating Wemyss Ware-inspired pottery at an affordable price. After the first product, a cat modelled on an original displayed in the museum, was produced, the line has grown. In 1994, the Wemyss Ware trademark was acquired by the Griselda Hill Pottery. Esther Weeks, now in her seventies, is a regular visitor and she both paints a few pieces and also shares with a new generation of painters the techniques used on the original Wemyss Ware.
