On the second day of Making Place, conversations & activity shifts from encountering heritage to thinking about what happens next & how to share it. Attendees will engage in discussions about & co-design how contemporary communities of making can grow from our heritage & place.

Join the co-design workshop, at the conclusion of the Saturday, as we move towards the next stages of Making Place, events that move across place & time.

Led by @rosemary_jamesbeith, working through three short activities, attendees will explore permaculture principles & how they might inspire collaborative interventions that can nurture the living communities of craft practice rooted in places, & connected across Scotland. Natural systems offer us a way to reflect on the necessity of interconnected, interdependent, & mutually supportive communities of care for regenerating & sustaining growth & development & adapting to changing environments & contexts.

Dr Rosemary James-Beith is a researcher, evaluator, & contributor to Scotland’s craft ecology - as well as Executive Director of @creative_glasgow & freelance arts & culture consultant.

Making Place: Heritage in Action & Cultivate is possible with @weareinnovateuk funding as part of the EU Horizon @culturality_project & AAS’s Multi-Year Funding from @creativescots. In-kind support has been provided by Highland Folk Museum / Taigh-tasgaidh Sluagh na Gaidhealtachd, @hlhsocial.
