- Once upon a time in the little town of Penicuik, nestled south of Edinburgh at the Eastern flanks of the ancient Pentland Hills, some young families got together, to play music, sing and dance together, share their hearts and arts. The Penicuik Community Arts Association sprouted and grew, and the time flew, and low and behold: there was a craft co-op, cafe co-op and a vibrant network of artists of all genres putting on events and workshops to be proud of. Time continued to fly, the kids said good bye, and, with a big sigh, the parents' broad shoulders shifted a few more boulders... and the PCAA still stood strong, hurray! Time went on and on, the wee town grew, a cold wind blew and still blows in this world so strapped for cash and entangled in a mesh of waste and waste. So the questions grew: what could we do to make space for a new race? There, out of the blue, last arts fest true, Making Space appeared and was greatly cheered.A little ripple grew into a strong little boat that keeps us a little afloat with fun fibre craft action for free from and for you and me. Now we need another wave, sol we thought we be brave and make a big wee splash... hush... can you hear the Coming Together is near the Arts Fest 2011 and out of hard work and blue heaven a splash arrived here for a wee bash, so now we are all making a dash for the workshop and whirl tops to be, to call in fresh folk young ones, who can talk and also walk their talk.. So, see yee !
