The 3 Harbours Arts festival is a wonderfully atmospheric Open Houses Arts fest by the sea, from Sat 2nd June - Sun 10th June 2012. Open 11.00am - 5.00pm.
The biggest exhibition of curated professional art all in one place is held at Cockenzie Power Station on B1348 Edinburgh Rd, where I'll be showing my jewellery designs over the 2 weekends.

Best for: weekends (houses sometimes closed during week days as folk go to work!) fun things to do; workshops, led walks (John Muir Way also nearby) Boatie Blest; a chance to row in a boat race round the harbour at Port Seton; outdoor sculptures in odd places, see artist John Bellany's old stomping ground; music; crafts; tea at folk's houses and have a nosey around too! Best of all my jewellery and a lot of talented art for sale!
