We will also include their most recent construction, a 25m rammed-earth Amphitheatre and stage. During the session we’ll learn about the different values that creative practices can bring to sustainable brownfield sites and public space developments.

This event will appeal to those working in areas including: urban planning and regeneration, green and brownfield space development, community development, landscape architecture, urban playground development, creative practices. It is run as part of our Green Tease Open Call Fund.

Meet the Hi-Vis Dads!

Circle’s Haven Project High-Vis Dads Arts Workshop took on the challenge laid down by the Year of the Dad slogan: ‘celebrating the difference a great dad can make’. Dads’ support worker PETE CLOKE explains all …

Family life can face many challenges for families in the Forth Ward, where Circle works through its Haven Project. Through the Arts Workshop, we gave Haven families the chance to consider all the amazing potential being realised in their father’s role.

The fathers’ and children’s energy took on the vision of the lead artist, Angela Austin, and truly took on a life of its own. This 8’ x 6’ behemoth was full of colour and energy in a way that only a child could have envisioned.

Fathers and their children worked creative magic each afternoon from the 11^th to the 15^th of July. The project now has the dual role of advertising and celebrating fatherhood with all the other fathers in their local area.

This will be achieved when the final sculpture is exhibited from

September 19^th – October 7^th at North Edinburgh Arts

along with the photography of Fiona Burness, who visited the project during its construction.

We have been able to celebrate with families the joy of being a father and now we want to encourage all the other dads out there!
