Welcome 3 Harbours Arts Festival celebrates another year with an exciting programme of art, crafts, storytelling, music, family fun and harbour heritage across Port Seton, Cockenzie and Prestonpans. The festival provides a platform for local artists, musicians and creative enterprises to showcase their work in a relaxed community environment that we hope will entertain, captivate and inspire local folk and visitors of all generations to engage with our harbour heritage or pick up a paintbrush or a guitar! It’s also fine to wander around, have a cup of tea and enjoy the festival atmosphere. In order to bring you this year’s festival the 3 Harbours committee have been building relationships with Port Seton Harbour, traders and local harbour folk who are making fabulous contributions. We continue to nurture links with Forth FLAG, Preston Seton Gosford Area Partnership, Community Councils and Community Centres. In collaboration with Salt Of The Earth: PSG Heritage Connections, Prestongrange and Waggonway Museums, Cockenzie House and Gardens, ELjam, ELC Arts Service, Pennypit Community Development Trust, Gaelgal/ European Ethnological Research Council, Boatie Blest as well as social enterprises LiL, Art Point and local businesses, we aim to provide a variety of exciting, interactive and accessible events for all ages.

Exhibition of works by PRESTON LODGE ASSOCIATES
After completing a BA Hons at The Scottish College of Textiles, Amanda entered the corporate world of HR management. 20 years later, in 2018, redundancy gave her the freedom to return to a creative life of painting. Her work is influenced by a love of nature and the East Lothian landscape. Special places and nostalgic scenes are the essence of her inspiration, working from her studio full-time. It all depends on the mood of the day. amandaowenson.simpl.com fb: amandaowensonart

LAYLA ROSE Oil
ROSS ALLAN
Layla studied Fine Arts and Art History at Sotheby’s Institute of Art and creates portraits of everyday life that lie between figuration and abstraction. Recent work examines the poignant moment in any child’s development: the moment of self-awareness and reflection. Layla feels that society often overlooks the ideas and intentions of the youthful, so paints children with an air of dignity. She is inspired by generational knowledge and wants to capture that in her subject.
Stone sculpture
Layla has a carefree approach, using intuition and focusing on colour palette before working with oils. She allows her inner child to play in the early stages to encourage spontaneous mark-making. She often incorporates storytelling, using text when appropriate. Her recent work has focused on the balance between the contemporary and naive abstraction. www.laylaroseart.com 6
Ross took to stone carving after taking an evening class in Cardiff in 2005. He is now based near Humbie and carves in Bath stone. His direct abstract style is strongly influenced by his work as a landscape architect, love of the outdoors and the natural world.

ANDY HEALD
HEATHER CHRISTIE
LYNNE ROBERTSON
WEE BLUE PRESS
Mixed media
Acrylic on dibond aluminium
Silver & sea glass
Linocut & woodcut
Andy is a landscape artist whose influences are coastal plains, particularly around Edinburgh, East Lothian and the Borders. He is drawn to the ever-changing appearances of our shared environment and attempts to catch these fleeting moments. Andy uses acrylics, emulsion, spray paint and sand as a base for his paintings but the finished products are more like sketches - the paint scratched or rubbed away and drawn over with pencils to create the finished, often abstract, work.
Working with botanical subjects, Heather tries to give them presence and context. Her work can be planned or spontaneous - a reaction to a single plant found while out and about, or a planned series of paintings.
Lynne was brought up in the area and her inspiration comes from the beaches of East Lothian and further afield to Berwickshire.
Borders-based printmaker Emma Jones works in linocut and woodcut, with a variety of complementary techniques, including monoprint and watercolour. Her art reflects the sense of freedom she feels in ‘The Great Outdoors’

MY JEWELLED BOX
Encaustic
Acrylic ink
Acrylic
Avril is a self taught artist working primarily in encaustic medium.
Colourful, vibrant ink paintings. Scottish landscapes and animals.
Encaustic is an age old art form using melted beeswax and tree resin mixed with natural pigments as “paint” and a blowtorch as “brush”. The results are beautiful, unique and colourful abstract artworks.
fb: amyhootonart
Rebecca paints local seascapes in acrylic on canvas and linen, influenced by East Lothian’s coastal landmarks and everchanging skies and weather fronts. Rebecca paints commissions for private clients and interior designers in the style of existing work. The brief can be a favourite landmark, seascape or colour palette.
MJB’s Found Beneath collection is inspired by bronze age utensils found in Scotland. The pieces are all hand made with period tools.

MJB strongly believe that a good piece of jewellery is more than a decorative object. Originality of concept is central to their designs and this is supported by a fitting choice of material and techniques. myjewelledbox.com 7

DEBORAH FALLAS
ANDREW STIRLING
LINDY FURBY
PATRICIA KANE
Acrylic
Acrylic
Collagraph prints
Acrylic
Deborah paints in a loose vibrant style concentrating on flower studies. She loves bright colours and experimenting with different hues and colour combinations that really “sing” when put next to each other.
Having lived in East Lothian for many years within an artistic family and having a printing background, it was a natural progression for Andrew to take up painting.
Lindy is an artist printmaker who loves the varied landscapes of Scotland.
Painting is Patricia’s relaxation (also sometimes a frustration).
www.deborahfallasart.co.uk
He works with acrylic paint which has given him the chance to look at images and deconstruct them. The images are often sharper or softer depending on the colour hues and subject matter.
She collects landscape images of Scotland by driving around in a campervan painting en plein air with watercolour. Once home she converts these images into collagraphs.
She loves colour, texture, light and combining these into something that works for her.
www.lindyfurby.co.uk
This allows individuals to look into his paintings and decipher their own story.

David will be showing a variety of practical and decorative pieces in turned wood. These can be personalised with your own text or design in pyrography (poker work). All his work is hand made in East Lothian.
Pat’s main interest is painting the movement of the sea but recently has been enjoying painting portraits of locals and of course family.
Paul’s work is inspired by the beautiful and compelling prehistoric rock art found in Britain and celebrates this mysterious symbolism which remains un-deciphered. As well as replicating compositions, he combines authentic symbols in new compositions, in response to his personal relationship with the fascinating motifs. fb: paulgreenwoodartist

She is interested in the connection between exterior and, personal, interior landscape.

Acrylic on Canvas
Pauline is an engineer at heart! She likes problem solving. In this case, it is how to paint with flour dough and rice. Her pictures are scenes and wildlife from her local area in East Lothian.
Iona studied Drawing & Painting at Edinburgh College of Art and enjoys painting en plein air to capture the coastal light of East Lothian. With her Hebridean roots, Iona makes regular painting trips to the Isle of Harris.

ELFY FINDLAY
ANN DICKSON
Drawing & painting
Print, digital
Silver & copper
Oil
Andrew is a Cockenzie-based artist who is well known for designing The Great Tapestry of Scotland, among others.
Growing up in East Lothian, Helen’s sense of home was about the three peaks (Bass, North Berwick and Traprain) that surrounded her, and it’s this geography that inspired her into illustration and keeps her creating. That, and her Bass Rock obsession!
Elfy creates elegant, out-of-thebox jewellery designs, working with clients to create timeless pieces. She is enthusiastic about new techniques.
Living in beautiful East Lothian, Ann enjoys painting land and seascapes and is also building a body of work in still life. Ann has been involved in art for most of her life.
Andrew will be exhibiting prints based on his tapestries and other oddities. andrewcrummy.com

At times Elfy’s designs embrace an organic and unrefined look, reflective of the natural world, but just as often they like to dress up prettily and finish with an immaculate sparkle. fb: Elfy Jewellery

CHALMERS CHURCH COLIN HOPKINS
JEMMA BRANNIGAN
GLADYS BAILLIE
Photography
Painting, photography & sculpture
Oil
Colin designs lighting installations, using photography to create painterly abstracts of light & shadow, capturing fleeting unseen reflections that are both thought-provoking and visually striking. He experiments with basic elements of art, stressing form and emotion over ‘everyday’ but unrecognizable subject matter. His work is often universal and non-representational.
Jemma’s series of artworks draw from various inspirations. Her current series is inspired by expressing emotions abstractly. Precious was inspired by the human face and the work of artists such as Paul Klee and Picasso. Pictocelt is inspired by Pictish standing stones, local stone circles and ancient documents such as the Book of Kells.
Drawing and painting have always been one of Gladys’s great interests, having attended classes by tutors Cynthia Hay, Alastair Fiddes Watt and Andrew Crummy.
His style is avant-garde using concepts which abandon tradition in search of new and experimental ways to portray the familiar - as unfamiliar. Colin is also a poet and an electrical engineer. mydeartwilight.weebly.com 10
Jemma also paints a wide variety of whimsical croft scenes as a separate series of artworks. Her photography is featured on the BBC website under locality. She is also a published author & freelance photojournalist. barefootartstudio.weebly.com
She has worked in most mediums but her preference is oils and bright colours. Her style is realistic, using her own photography. Gladys has recently started portrait painting which she finds stimulating but very challenging.

3 HARBOURS 2019
TRIBUTE TO ROS PARKYN
The 3 Harbours Arts Festival is looking for volunteers to help plan, organise and run next year’s festival. If you fancy getting involved in any way please contact info3haf@gmail.com.
By Jan and Caroline of Catching The Past Ros Parkyn was a force of nature! She was unique, eccentric and lived life very much on her own terms. At the same time she was clever, caring and wise. She got the three of us together, 3 years ago to do an event for the 3 Harbours Arts Festival. From there, Catching the Past was spawned.
Disclaimer: The 3 Harbours Arts Festival has made every effort to ensure that the information published in this brochure is accurate at the time of going to print. However, we cannot be held responsible for any variations, errors or omissions. Under no circumstances can 3 Harbours Arts Festival accept liability for any loss, damage or injury sustained by any member of the public visiting any venue participating in the 3 harbours. 3 Harbours Arts Festival is a community interest company. Registered in Scotland SC536782. David Redpath, Director / Claire Hunter, Director Margaret Hamilton, Secretary Graphics by wylliecat.co.uk
Ros and Caroline have taken part in numerous costumed events during the 12 years or so that they were neighbours. Ros was involved heavily with the community, helping with planning, staging and taking part in those events. She also campaigned on issues she passionately believed in such as the plight of refugees, endangered wildlife and conservation. She also took part in studies on medical research. All of this was done despite the fact that she suffered a lot of longstanding health issues. Her death was a huge shock to us all. We will continue Catching the Past events, the time and commitment that Ros put in cannot be wasted. She would be appalled if we folded! So, again, we will take part in the 3 Harbours. This year with our costumed walks. Ros always had time for 3HAF and she promoted it widely. Both of us, and I know many others, agree that Ros was one of the most genuine and generous people we have ever met. She will be a huge loss to us all.
