Maker's bio

The Arienas Collective supports local artists and makers to earn a living by sharing their creative skills and passions with others through delivering workshops. The workshops are run from our mews home in the beautiful Georgian New Town of central Edinburgh. We believe in the wellbeing benefits of engaging in creative activity, and our class sizes are kept small so that you get the support you need to make the most of your time with us. We teach you creative skills you can continue at home.

Christine Armstrong reviewed: Introduction to macrame with Lucy Wayman

"Excellent day, yet again with Lucy's excellent teaching in macrame, supported by Lynne's great hosting. The items created by the participants were really impressive! I thoroughly recommend both this class and the Arianas Collective in general. "

The Arienas Collective responded:

"Thank you so much Christine! I agree that the work you and your fellow macrame makers made on Lucy's class was wonderful. Lucy is very patient with us all - thank you for letting me join you. And a huge thank you for taking the time to leave us a review...it means so much to me, Lucy and all The Arienas Collective creatives. I hope to welcome you back soon. Best wishes, Lynn :-)"

Catherine Bateson reviewed: Silver clay jewellery taster with Anna Campbell

"I had a wonderful morning doing the Silver Clay jewellery workshop with Anna Campbell. She was an inspiring, instructive and engaging tutor who was patient and generous. I just wish I had been in Scotland long enough to do more courses with her!"

The Arienas Collective responded:

"Hi Catherine - Anna and I are so glad you enjoyed working with silver clay. Perhaps you can return to Scotland in future and take your jewellery journey further?! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are so grateful. Enjoy wearing your pieces. With best wishes, Lynn"
