The Portal

The Portal, situated in the heart of the old town, on the trusted foundations of the Cannongate and the High Street, a gateway to possibility from the very centre of the city, step through our doorway into an early blooming of colour and life, of possibilities and potentialities amidst those grim, and still gray, first days of spring.

The first flowerings from the sleeping-soil will include our retail shop which will aim, with the best of intentions, to stock products that are eco-friendly, sustainable, recycled or organic. The Portal aims to offer a complete lifestyle solution for eco-living.

Workshops

As summer moves towards autumn, we expect to commence a season of creative workshops offering un-prescribed possibilities for creative learning to both children and adults. The sessions so far scheduled, include:

Children's Art Workshop (utilizing waste) - Glass Painting - Poetry Writing - Children's Drama - Theatre - Screenplay Writing - Songwriting - Painting - Sculpturing - with many more yet t.b.c..

If you are interested in attending a workshop please contact the store manager to make a booking. Prices and dates will soon be advertised.

Further Fruits

In due course, The Portal will also incorporate an online shop and catalogue. Later, there will also be a Health Tea Room and a Clothing Design House. Further down the line, we are hoping to offer Home Eco-audits (a service still currently still in development) and to establish a Product Development infrastructure, involving the identifying of talented artists and designers; researching new creative ideas for products; and ultimately, the pairing of products to producers to create innovative, useful, new products - all sourced from the ever-deepening well of recycled materials.
