PLENTY? FESTIVAL | ASH RISE: WOODLAND TO WORKSHOP (a film screening)Friday 3 October 2025 at 7.30pm
The Scottish Furniture Makers Association presents a feature documentary that follows the ash tree from woodland to workshop and explores this wonderful material through stories of those who work with it.
Furniture makers are privileged to experience the sounds, smells and textures of the workshop; the processes that realise the potential in timber are fleeting but beautiful in their own right. The Ash Rise film was created not only to offer an insight into the world of the furniture maker, but also celebrate the ash tree from woodland to workshop, through stories of characters that influence, and are influenced by, the life of these great trees.
Featuring: Tom Addy, Angus and Lorna Ross, Dr Helen McKay OBE, Alice Broome, Andrew Macqueen.
Filmed on location at: Killearn Home Farm - Stirlingshire, Scottish Wood - Dunfermline, Tor Workshop - Ballater, Angus Ross Furniture Studio - Aberfeldy, Forest Research Northern Research Station - Roslin, Moffat.
Tom Addy, featured in this film, is a panellist in the talk ‘Woodland to Workshop - realising the potential of Scottish timber through creative connections’ on Saturday 4 October, drawing in themes explored in this film.
There is a sliding scale ticket price for this event of £3 - £8. Please pay what you decide.
