Layla Tree
Layla is a woven textile designer. She has run the weaving workshop at Garvald Edinburgh, which offers creative opportunities to adults with learning disabilities for more than 15 years, before joining Rustin Mill.
Layla sits on the management board of the Collumcille Centre. Both Garvald and Columcille work out of the ideas of Rudolf Steiner. She is a former pupil (Kindergarten to Class 12) and a current parent.
As we enter a time where the automisation of skills is becoming the norm I think it is vital to maintain and nurture crafts, creative learning and freedom of play.
As a former pupil, Layla has a good knowledge and understanding of the School. Her professional career also works out of the ideas of Rudolf Steiner, which gives her an additional perspective to bring to the trustees.
I am passionate about growing the school through positive marketing and publicity and sit on the School’s marketing group of the Board.
