Ethos

Creations under Talamh Arts follow regenerative art principles as closely as possible. Crafts are made from natural materials and pigments that can theoretically return to the earth under natural, outdoor weathering conditions.

Hand-foraged materials are used to create artwork and crafts. This involves ecological mapping of species to allow for natural regeneration and follows compliance with local foraging laws and guidelines. 

External materials are sourced locally where possible. Talamh Arts is proud to use beeswax from Ed’s Bees (Graeme's Glasgow Honey) as a natural coating for home accent pieces - urban beekeeping that nurtures honey bee colonies across the city, enhancing local biodiversity and supporting pollinator populations.

As Talamh Arts evolves, ongoing research focuses on aligning artwork and crafts more closely with regenerative and circular economy principles. This includes researching materials and processes that that reuse and minimise waste - building on existing practices that already incorporate waste materials. For example all packaging used is either compostable, biodegradable, or recyclable/part-recycled. Organic fabrics and carbon-neutral printing are also used.
