A new exhibition by Scottish Furniture Makers Association, Ash Rise features design, craft and art inspired by and made from a single Scottish ash tree, highlighting the impact of ash dieback, a fungus originating in Asia which has devastated the European ash. New furniture designs of chairs, cabinets and tables join sculptural wall pieces, a hand-made kayak, block-printed dyed textiles, paper art and a guitar, showcasing the potential of this precious resource.
Beginning at Edinburgh’s Royal Botanic Garden, next year the exhibition will travel to the Gracefield Arts Centre in Dumfries (22nd Jan – 22nd March) and Inverness Museum & Art Gallery (29th March – 17th May).
