Making art.
Making connections.

Process over perfection.

A creative programme for children aged 5–13, exploring drawing, painting, sound, sustainable craft and collaboration. The exhibition Scribble Outside the Box brings their discoveries together.

A river, a banner,
a shared responsibility.

Working with EcoArt, ecologist Malcolm Haddow and The Old School, Emily led participatory banner-making workshops inspired by historic trade union banners. Young people and community members explored the River Nith’s ecology, heritage and rights through making and storytelling.

The collaborative banner joined the local procession, carrying a shared message about caring for the landscapes we inhabit.

History, heard
in new ways.

For the Northern Lights Festival, Emily researched the Robert Burns Mausoleum and developed a soundscape using archival recordings and local voices. Heritage workshops reached 237 pupils across 11 primary schools in Dumfries and Galloway, exploring remembrance and legacy through creative making.

Colour from the land.
Sound from clay.

Earth pigment workshops introduce the gathering, preparation and use of natural materials. Ocarina workshops connect clay instruments with storytelling and the history of craft.
