A warm welcome to the 11th 3 Harbours Arts Festival, East Lothian’s much loved and most diverse arts festival. I remember heading back early from my remote Scottish Sutherland’s holiday especially to go to the 3 Harbours Festival. I had heard so much about it. Little did I realise then that I would be a part of it, or even become it’s Chairman! Such has been its effect on me! This is a festival as di-verse as the ever present sea, with craft, fi ne art, exhibitions in peo-ple’s homes, sculpture, and events. There will be music; traditional, classical and contemporary, as well as seafood festivals and street food vendors of all kinds, just to scratch the surface. It’s all here! When you need a break from all that, you can wiggle your toes in the sand of our beautiful beaches.

This year we coincide with the unique Cockenzie & Port Seton Chil-dren’s Gala, part of which traditionally takes place out at sea. The Seton Queen, her escort and court sail out from Cockenzie harbour in fi shing boats pursued by pirates, then they all return to Port Seton harbour. The Prestonpans Gala Day takes place in the middle of June confi rming that this is a special time of year for our communi-ties. It’s time to discover, or rediscover why it is so loved by so many. We welcome you to The 3 Harbours Arts Festival 2016!

Carl John Barber, Chair

thank you

“A huge thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged the new committee in the run up to their fi rst festival. We hope that this will be the starting block for future festivals that will gradually draw in more enter-tainment from an ever increasing and more diverse range of talent. We would like to say a very special thank you to all our volunteers, without whom this festival simply would not exist. A huge thank you to all the participating art-ists, muscians and performers as well as all the local venues and houses that kindly open their doors for the festival.

Our thanks to the 1st Cockenzie Scouts for the time and effort put into de-signing a large selection of wonder-ful drawings for this year’s brochure. Congratulations to Martha Ander-son whose beautiful depiction of sea creatures adorns the front cover. Look out for other children’s contributions throughout the brochure.

We would like to thank Rosy Naylor our brochure and leafl et designer, the Area Partnership for their support and funding and the tremendous support of EAE Leafl et Marketing Specialists who continue to sponsor our leafl et, brochure and poster distribution cam-paigns. Thank you.”

Michelle Renwick

I have been painting for pleasure for about 10 years, working mostly in acrylic. I like to use recycled mate-rials where possible, this year I have chosen to paint acrylic on plywood with the fi nished works mounted on trays.

Acrylics and recycled materials

My paintings are fi gurative, but they have no subject or protagonist: their tension is only constructed by the endless landscape, ambiguous sense of scale, unknown inanimated objects and the possibility of a past or future action that never culminates.

Linda Sheridan is a painter and printmaker living in Roslin. Her work depicts the interactions between the elements, man and nature. She works in oil, watercolour, water-based print, and electronic techniques. This exhibition features harbours and windows.

My paintings are abstract, infl uenced by harbours, water and landscape and typically emphasise a shape or particular line I have sketched, photographed or remembered. I attempt to distort perceptions of landscape often leading to a focus on composition.

Lynsey Wilson is a photographer and maker based in Port Seton. She graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1997. She is represented in this exhibition by a series of photographs of the local area and a selection of reversible wrap dresses for girls aged 0-6 years.

Every mile traveled imprints onto the research and shapes the work. It’s movement that never comes to a full stop, for any particular location still hails to the places before and the ones to come.

Self taught, my infl uences are Im-pressionism and Expressionism. In particular I’m interested in how a painting can show how the artist felt about his subject. At present my work deals with local urban scenery, colour and tone through the sea-sons.

I am an artist based in Leith. I have exhibited at The Mall Galleries in London as well as others in Scotland. I aim to capture the essence of what I paint and hope the viewer can feel this. I especially love painting coastal scenes and birds.

Seas and skies that capture the ever-changing moods that nature brings.

Iconic images that change with the light but are constant - or sometimes demolished to create a hole in the horizon. Some may be missed but others remain steadfast.

Pat Turquand is attracted by strong colour. Her work features seascapes, landscapes, still life and portraits.

I feel exceptionally lucky to live on Scotland’s ‘Garden County’ coast, and to witness the most amazing sunsets and sunrises, capturing on canvas the different colours the sky shares. In addition to my seascapes, for this year’s Festival my paintings will include a patriotic theme.

My body of work involves the use of either watercolour, which often has ideas different to mine once it hits the paper or graphite pencil which, once built up in layers, allows for a wonderful depth of shadow and light.

My artwork features driftwood, glass and pottery lovingly gathered from around the 3 Harbours coastline. I take my inspiration from the texture, colour and form of these aged materials, using them to create my driftwood sculptures and embel-lish my handcrafted furniture.

Driftwood, glass and stone sculptures,handcrafted furniture

I love painting in oils, the texture and richness of colour is always fun to work with. Most of my paintings have a slightly abstract feel - still life, fl owers, seascapes and landscapes. I get my inspiration from colour, shape and light. Something will just catch my eye and I can’t rest until I paint it.

Each piece Anna Oberfeld makes acts as evidence. Oberfeld’s work investigates the idea of imperma-nence, symbolism, memory, and existence. Oberfeld creates, traces, and makes artifacts of her memo-ries into a visual vernacular using Victorian fl ower symbolism as well as Oberfeld’s personal iconography.

Norman Lamont has been de-scribed as a ‘legend of the Edin-burgh singer/songwriter scene’. His songs are quirky, toe-tapping and original. ‘Norman is one of these performers that offers up something a little quirkier than the normal sing-er/songwriter stuff… a few yarns... mixed with a deep cohenesque vocal and some super catchy hooks.’ (Hannah O’Reilly)

Many of the children’s submissions for the front cover competition featured the loss of the Cockenzie Power Station chimneys. It reminded me of the importance of commu-nity self-identity. While some felt little, others cried when the chimneys spectacularly came down and yet, for a brief moment, a vision of a giant striding away and onwards, was also seen.

For me, this symbolizes that this is a com-munity that has seen much change over the centuries, but with the sea as a constant. Change comes but, like the spectral glimpse of the Giant of Cockenzie, the depth of en-during community spirit marches on.

As the motto of the area proclaims “Hazard Yet Forward’. It was this same spirit and cour-age which caused people to come forward and with great effort make the 3 Harbours Festival happen again. After all, what zest and liveliness can an arts festival have if it does not celebrate and renew the human spirit from it’s heart?
