Emily Martinelli is a maker and carpenter based in Edinburgh.

She originally trained as a silversmith, with a love of flourish and ornament that evolved into a passion for costume, prop and set building.

She first got involved in the Pianodrome when it was just a twinkle in the eyes and has worked on every Pianodrome project since, crafting giant tusks for Leeds International Piano Trail and heading across the world to build a Pianodrome in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“Pianodrome is a space where I can solve problems, realise wild dreams and utilise my skills in a fantastical yet deeply practical way. It is immensely satisfying to turn what would be junk into beautiful immersive worlds, bringing people together and creating community”
