Grant McCaig is a Glasgow-based silversmith and educator whose practice blends technical precision with a refined approach to contemporary silverware.
A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, McCaig has spent his career advancing the relevance of traditional hand-skills within modern design contexts, with a particular focus on functional forms that are both sculptural and purpose-driven.
McCaig’s silverware is characterised by clean lines, polished surfaces, and an attention to detail that honours the material while embracing innovation. His works, ranging from elegant tableware to ceremonial pieces, reflect a clarity of form rooted in classic design principles, updated through a minimalist lens. He is known for his disciplined aesthetic, producing work that quietly commands attention through its craftsmanship rather than ornamentation.
In addition to his studio practice, McCaig plays an important role within Glasgow’s creative infrastructure, contributing to educational initiatives and mentoring programmes. While not overtly high-profile, his ongoing involvement in craft education and local studio networks positions him as a respected figure within Scotland’s contemporary applied arts landscape.
