About MeMargaret (or Majel) Davidson set up her own pottery at Bieldside in 1926, after graduating from Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen. She ran the pottery for eight years, with assistance from other potters who produced tableware to her designs. Majel Davidson also gave pottery demonstrations throughout the country. After the closure of the pottery in 1935 she returned to painting and took up the cause of Moral Rearmament.
