Creative Haven by the Harbour

Deemouth Artist Studios sits on the eastern edge of Aberdeen, in the Torry area along South Esplanade East, where the North Sea breeze carries whispers of maritime history. This cluster of working studios houses Fernweh UK in Studio 4/5, a fashion accessories shop channeling the spirit of 'fernweh'—that deep-seated longing for faraway places. Surrounded by fellow creators, the space embodies Aberdeen's thriving maker scene, blending urban grit with artistic innovation.

Curated Collections of Wanderlust

Fernweh UK specializes in fashion accessories that evoke adventure and elegance, drawing from global inspirations reimagined through local craftsmanship. Expect delicate jewelry evoking distant horizons, silk scarves with subtle patterns reminiscent of Highland trails, and bespoke items perfect for travelers seeking distinctive pieces. The shop's inventory reflects a passion for ethical, small-batch production, aligning with the studios' ethos of supporting independent Northeast Scotland artisans.

Inside the Studios' Buzz

Unit 4 at Deemouth pulses with creativity, where artists like Fiona Sinclair with her evocative paintings, Hackley Design Studio's functional art, and Rhubart's innovative works share the space. Fernweh UK thrives in this environment, its displays integrated among tools, sketches, and half-finished masterpieces. The raw, industrial architecture—exposed brick, high ceilings, and natural light flooding through large windows—creates an immersive atmosphere that feels worlds away from sterile retail.

Makers and Seasonal Showcases

The studios host an array of talents, from Ian Thomson's sculptures to Mhairi McBeath Design's textiles and Scott Smith Silversmith's precious metalwork. Events like NEOS 2025 bring these creators into the spotlight, with open studios revealing processes from sketch to final accessory. Fernweh UK participates in this rhythm, offering pieces that capture the essence of these collaborations and the rugged beauty of Aberdeen's coastline.

Atmosphere of Authentic Discovery

Stepping into Fernweh UK feels like entering a friend's workshop, where conversations with makers reveal stories behind each item. The harbour proximity infuses the air with salt and possibility, making it an ideal stop for those exploring Torry's working-class heritage and artistic resurgence. Here, shopping transcends transaction—it's a connection to Aberdeen's contemporary creative pulse.
