Four Edinburgh-based Artists and Makers present an exhibition celebrating nature and connection.
This exciting group exhibition is to be unveiled on Wednesday November 26th 2025, with the launch night opening from 6pm - 9pm. Featuring four talented, Edinburgh-based artists working across fine art, textiles and illustration, this inaugural exhibition marks the beginning of an artist collective formed by Freya Moran, Rachel Turner, Ruth Nichols-Pike and Sarah Kwan. Coming together to showcase their thoughtful collaborative work, MULCH will highlight not only the shared connections in nature - but also friendship and the importance of community.
The artists are delighted for this opportunity to present their work and hope that you will join them at Leith Makers, to celebrate on the opening night. From beautiful hand drawn and painted work, to embroidered illustrative pieces and hand printed linocuts, besides other prints and gifts available in store to purchase, there will be plenty to choose from at this showcase launch. Plus, wonderful refreshments from local drinks sponsors so you can raise a glass alongside the artists - it is sure to be an evening of fun and connection. Leith Makers champion work by local independent artists, with an emphasis on handmade pieces and providing a space for creative community - working in tandem with the values of MULCH.
Now more than ever, fostering solidarity and community during these tumultuous times is so important. We hope you will support our artists and visit the MULCH show on November 26th, at Leith Makers’ fabulous in-house gallery space and shop.
