MUD: Artist Development Day

Produced by Fife Contemporary with Perth UNESCO City of Craft and Folk Arts at St Andrews Botanic Garden, the day will bring together talks, practical activity, peer exchange and discussion around how artists can work creatively and responsibly with materials gathered from the land.

Together, these sessions will offer inspiration for new forms of practice while opening up conversation around care, safety, permissions and ecological impact.

Participants will gain insights into the innovative, provocative and thought-provoking work taking place in Scotland today. They will have space to consider foraging, care, safety and ecological impact while connecting with others interested in material, place and environmental practice.

This opportunity is for artists, makers and creative practitioners interested in clay, mud, pigments, foraging, ecology, material research and place-based practice.
