And if that isn't enough, the Botanics welcomes back the Edinburgh Samba School , a firm favourite with regular party-goers. There are also puppets and face painting for the children, and this year tickets include a delicious Crombies of Edinburgh burger or banger. We deliberately wanted to create an event that all the family can enjoy and we hope that party-goers will benefit from the fun atmosphere as a result. Entry and exit is via the West Gate, off Arboretum Place, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The event is outside and ticket holders are advised to wear appropriate clothing.
Further refreshments are available on-site.
Demonstrating the diverse and innovative use of paper, Paper over the Cracks opens at the Exhibition Hall, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on 29 September 2001 and brings together the work of 6 artists, all of whom are Scottish-based members of PaperWeight. The exhibitors, who include Anna King , Joanne Kaar , Lavinia Hardy , Karin Muhlert , Chrissie Heughan and Jennifer Alexander , all approach paper from very different perspectives. The resulting exhibition is a collection of exciting and creative work representing the sheer flexibility of paper as an artistic medium. As an internationally recognised weaver, Anna King is particularly well-known for her coiled baskets. Anna works on the basic idea in relation to previous uses of paper and string, creating lots of very small wrappings and packages and, as she remarks, this relates on a truly personal basis to her own inner depth.
