Our Work

In Wester Hailes

Wester Hailes is home to Starcatchers’ Baby Studio, delivery of its flagship community engagement project, Expecting Something, at WHALE Arts Agency, and of Creative Skills training and our Artist Development opportunities.

Starcatchers has worked in Wester Hailes for over 12 years, building partnerships with organisations in the community and with local health services and community groups. In 2021 we made the decision to deepen our community engagement in Wester Hailes and through support from Outer Spaces, opened the Baby Studio in a dis-used shopping outlet in the local centre. Starcatchers Baby Studio was located here for 2 years, before moving on in June 2024. Our Wester Hailes work includes Starcatchers Saturdays sessions, delivered for local Wester Hailes’ families, creative play experiences for local early years settings, as well as opportunities for artists we support to develop their work and practice.
