Peggy has been selected as one of the featured artists at the Big Tent Festival.

A few months ago she attended a seminar for local artists and craft-workers at Falkland Estate and was given a guided tour of Falkland Palace, House of Falkland and the Estate, including the parts that the public don't usually get to see.

She has since been asked to give a workshop at the Big Tent Festival and has been commissioned to produce two pieces for the Festival.

Big Tent Festival is Scotland's leading environmental festival and in keeping with that ethic Peggy has created the jewellery, a penannular brooch and a fibula brooch, out of recycled materials, using a copper float that she found on a beach on the west coast and a copper bus-bar from an old electrical installation. The beads came from old jewellery.

The vine leaves on the penannular brooch are inspired by plasterwork in the House of Falkland while the flowing lines and faceted quartz beads of the fibula are inspired by the waters of the Maspie Burn.
