The idea is for Leith residents and groups (up to about 50 local people of all ages, particularly older and younger people) to participate in sessions, with some possibly going on to run their own business, using BB workshop facilities for the groups to design, manufacture and sell a collection of branded products at various locations in Leith.
Key Outcomes include: - Development of collaborative community arts/cultural making project based in Leith - Encouragement of increased participation in cultural/community arts activity of ‘harder to reach community members in Leith - Development of local skills and learning how to ‘make’ printed items (eg.
