Come to the POSt artists PechaKucha

Four of our 2026 Pentlands Open Studios artists are swapping the studio for the stage. Come and hear them talk about their work, how they make it, and what it was like to open their doors this August.

Each artist shows a set of 20 images, auto-advancing every 20 seconds — just over 6 minutes to tell their story, with the pictures doing much of the talking. Questions follow immediately after each talk.

I went to this last year, it was a lot of fun!

Speakers:

Martha Ellis — signature “cut-out” drawings capturing the beauty in the everyday, from wildflowers to Edinburgh landscapes. marthaellis.co.uk · @marthaellisart
