The Forth Line

September 29, 2021  |  By Charlotte Johnson

Forthline exhibits at Royal Botanic Gardens Harvest Festival – 19th Sept 2021

Great day at the Botanics Harvest Festival – lovely atmosphere and very successful:

  • 350 people came to see the Forthline squares in just 4 hours,
  • enthusiastic visitors who lingered to read the stories behind the squares and talk about them
  • lots of the craft creators who came to meet us
  • very popular talks on Seagrass and Oysters – that managed to appeal to all ages from 2 to 72!  Great to see the kids captured up front and then their parents begin to get involved and ask questions

Big thanks to Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh and Flora and Fauna International for helping fund the costs for the exhibition logistics, and to the Botanic Gardens for being a wonderful host!

Wonderful feedback from people on the day too:

  • ‘The exhibition of Forth shoreline was excellent. The apple trail as well. So interesting! On the whole a very good day and celebration of harvest!!!’
  • ‘Fantastic day out, love the story tent and the Forth Shoreline exhibition was inspiring!’
  • ‘A stunning exhibition. What a wonderful achievement. Each square is so individual + many make such prominent messages. One that stands out for me is the tapestry with words Climate change – Adaptation – Death. So powerful. Well done everyone.’
  • ‘Fantastic exhibition – I studied weaving + embroidery at Art school in 80’s and inspired me to get back into it. Sustainable, mixed media art – fabulous!’
  • ‘Magical Forthline project. Deserves a longer run.’
  • ‘An inspiring exhibition. Well done for putting it out. You must put adverts in all local newspapers. Thank you. See you next year.’ oznorWO_soft[/caption]
  • ‘Many interesting things; The Need to Protect craft shoreline pieces are truly awesome, a fantastic idea and concept which should be in an art gallery. V&A or similar?’

Our Forthline squares made quite an impact

Edinburgh Shoreline is an exciting, community centred initiative celebrating the city’s 27km coastline.

We are rediscovering its fascinating and often unknown history and the rich plant and animal life that survives against the odds in unexpected places, and inspiring people to explore their coast and take responsibility for its future health.

 

 

We are very grateful to our current partners and funders

We are very grateful to have been supported and funded so well in the past.
