Last week, team member Becca attended the @culturality_project Living Lab with @appliedartsscotland. She says:

“The CULTURALITY Living Lab, held at the incredible @dellofabernethy, was an intense but hugely rewarding experience. In just 3 days, two teams developed a prototype co-design framework for makers and their collaborators and a visioning tool for rural communities.

“I was delighted to be asked to be part of the week as there is so much crossover between this project and @ruractive_eu which I lead for GrowBiz.”

I’ve begun a new raft of glaze tests. Hence the beautiful unctuous soft clay thrown rings of test tiles. I’ll wait for them to dry out to a cheese hard consistency and then slice them away from the batt. Once they’re bone dry They’ll be bisque fired and ready to be used to test out new glazes. 🌈

Spent last week with @appliedartsscotland, mentoring two wonderful groups of people as part of the EU's 'Culturality' project.

The project is exploring ways to develop rural crafts and cultural heritage alongside 'sustainable' tourism across nine countries, including Scotland.

Over the week, the two groups took an initial idea and developed it into a workable prototype which was tested with a group of invited guests - local craftspeople, policymakers and those involved in the tourism industry.

Happily, both ideas - a 'crafting connections' card game and an asset-mapping futuring workshop for communities or organisations - were felt to have legs, and have already received invites to be put to use.

It was a very intense week! We did a lot of interrogating language, asking big questions, and detailing issues as well as possible alternatives.

There was plenty of 'trust the process' going on, including from myself, as it was my first time mentoring in this way. But I also found it uplifting, sparky and joyful spending such focused time with a small group of people. It's so rare to be able to do that.

Genuinely grateful and thankful to the crew at @appliedartsscotland - @carolsinclairwilson, @yellowbroom_lighting & @diggorybrown - for inviting me to be part of it.

We were also *extremely* well hosted and fed by Polly and the brilliant team at @dellofabernethy.

Thank you ALL for the chats, ideas, connections and generosity of spirit! It was truly wonderful!

#ECAMatters

I join @craftscotland @appliedartsscotland @eca.crafts, numerous organisations in Scotland and nearly 9000 petitioners to call for the saving of Performance Costume, Jewellery and Silversmithing, and Textiles courses at Edinburgh College of Art.

I have written to the University of Edinburgh’s Principal calling for a meeting to discuss measures to safeguard these essential parts of Scotland’s culture sector. Alumni, existing staff, and many others are heartbroken, and I stand firmly with them.
