Ama-zing Harmonies at West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre

Monday 26th June, 6 – 7pm

Amaz-ing Harmonies is an initiative to bring the people of my neighbourhood together through songs and food where all participate.
We started in March and have grown to around 30 people per evening. We meet on the last Monday of every month from 6pm to 7pm.
It gives us the opportunity to network and know our neighbours. This makes us love each other and break barriers of silence, culture and religion as we are all united through music. I chose music to bring us together because I am a musician myself. Music relaxes, refreshes and takes away anxiety. It’s an antidote to depression also.
If you need more information please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you
Ama

 

 

Anyone for glass blowing?

Hi 
My name is Lindsay Perth, I’m building an art work for the new health centre in Pennywell. I’m building a glass chandelier where the lamps are hand blown by members of the community who will use the health centre and NHS staff who will work there. The artwork will be interactive and respond to people’s movement in the Atrium space.
The workshop is closely supported by glass blower Ingrid Philipps and takes place at Edinburgh College of Art near the Blood Donor centre on Lauriston Place.
I have spaces left in a glass blowing workshop next Saturday (June 10) 9:30am-12:30pm (some flexibility if can only do afternoon session). If you would be interested please get in touch with me at lindsayperth@gmail.com or text me on 07974 959535.
Some photos are attached to show you last weeks participants glassblowing some gorgeous pieces!
best wishes
Lindsay
