Combing the Shoreline
Our coasts and shorelines can provide endless poetic inspiration, but have you ever tried your hand at beachcombing? Artist Emily Dubious is an enthusiastic beachcomber who creates artwork and jewellery from her finds – join her as she leads a gentle beachcombing walk along Portobello beach. We’ll then retire to PortaLibri for some writing time led by poet Lisa Fannen, using our found treasures as prompts to create new poems.
