Dearest friends of Swallow The Sea,

We are full of glee after a wonderful first outing with the caravan, to Knockengorroch Festival in South West Scotland, where we were met with a warm, warm welcome.

www.knockengorroch.org.uk

Thanks to EVERY ONE of you for helping to make this happen!!

We had two shows to share, with some more up our sleeves for the future.

'Home Sweet Home': 
“A transformative home-coming experience.  The banal becomes extraordinary, every day domesticity a universal expression of individual perception.  Sensitively put together; one doesn't want to leave the installation.”

'Chinterviews':
“Wonderful surreal experience. Should be a part of all festivals!”

Watch this space for a wee film of Chinterviews.


Next stop, the Scottish Permaculture Gathering,  taking place at The Hidden Mill,
Dumfries and Galloway.  30th June-2nd July 2017

It opens all the way up and closes all the way down and is ever so robust in transit! With help from Tim Vincent Smith's absurdist/carpenter head and hands
and the sliding bevel ( B E S T  T O O L  E V E R )

Ash Box Frame fitted today! 
Timber from the lovely folk at Scottish Wood, Fife. 
Turned legs finely crafted by dear pal, Mark Vrionides at The Forge, Community Workshop Fountainbridge!

Winter in the workshop, where we - learn to route, wrap our heads around angles with our most prized possession - the Sliding Bevel, wallpaper, lay the floor...

A chunk of time has been spent away from the caravan - Autumn's agile hands and hearts - Jess with the birth of Three Hares Community Woodland in Roslyn, Emma in the Appalachian's with Rural Academy Theater's annual tour, and Jemima's music soaring far and wide.
