What is a doctor without a stethoscope, a carpenter without a hammer or an astronaut without a spacesuit? We all use different tools every day. Without them we couldn’t be able to do our work the same way.

Which tool do you use the most? What’s the story behind it? Send a picture of it and what you use it for to Helena at helena@edinburghpalette.co.uk.

This wee open call is part of a new project from the Arts & Community Team: the St Margaret’s House Fanzine. Let’s how the world the magic of the building in an interactive magazine form full of different stories happening in the community!

FREE workshop exploring drawing portraits of children

The Thrive Archive workshop‘The weans just won’t sit still!’ Despite the lure of thruppence for the cinema or a new comic to read Joan’s young models found it difficult to hold a pose for long. She had to work fast and if you have ever tried to draw your children or your grandchildren you will understand the challenges Joan faced trying to capture a fleeting expression or a shy smile.

Join artists from The Thrive Archive for a 90-minute workshop ‘After Eardley’ and explore the joy of drawing portraits of children at speed. Simply bring a photo of a ‘wee one’ to inspire you and an old shirt or apron to wear. The 90-minute workshops are free and we provide all the materials.
