COMMUNITY
Our Vision
- More people will spend less time in a digital world, seeking out safe, welcoming community spaces where they can reconnect with others.
- Interest in learning and sharing creative skills will continue to grow.
- There will be less social isolation as more opportunities for creative activities are created.
- Handmade will be valued above artificial intelligence, and participation above acquisition.
- Creativity benefits wellbeing and offers a positive alternative to doubt and uncertainty.
Our Commitment
This year, MADE in East Lothian will continue to offer space and opportunity for everyone to experience creative reuse and discover new skills.
Well-established favourites such as the Craft Socials and Saturday workshops will run alongside special projects to widen choice and participation.
We hope you will join us in 2026.
