The idea of an exhibition of work produced from a single tree has been explored twice before at the Garden with stunning success. The late and great Tim Stead transformed an ash tree into an enormous collection of sculpture and furniture in 1993. Subsequently in 2001 an exhibition of work by 75 makers produced from a single native oak came to the Botanic Garden in the onetree project. The third part in the trilogy will be different not only because the material is elm, this project will be an exhibition of commissioned work, along with photographic and video documentation of the processes. The aim is to get behind the pieces to examine how the design and making progresses, and to show how rewarding the commissioning process can be.

We are looking for makers working in Scotland to apply to be involved. If selected, their work will be featured on a website and other promotional material. We already have clients waiting to commission work and the excitement generated by the project will bring in many more. If you are interested in taking part please register your details here and we will let you know how to take the next step.
