A free 4-day workshop for 13 - 17 year olds. Work with artist Sharon Quigley to create stencil and paper cut-out artworks. Influenced by art from around the Edinburgh Art Festival 2010 - including brand new commission 'Black Swan' from Big Things on the Beach - and life on the seafront of Edinburgh's very own Beach.
Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.
Since 2004 we have commissioned artists to create substantial temporary artworks, trained ourselves and others in the process of commissioning public artworks through international site visits and guest lectures and successfully raised funding to these ends.
We are currently funded by the Scottish Arts Council and The City of Edinburgh Council
Big Things on the Beach is a Charity Registered in Scotland (Scottish Charity Number: SC035107)
