We have received funding from the Kelvin Valley and Falkirk CLLD Fund to hold a series of creative workshops, to make a variety of different items for our outside space. Themes of the workshops include recycling (and upcycling), reducing waste and promoting circular economy principles.There are 10 workshops in total, come to them all - or just make the ones you can.
Come along and help us breathe new life into forgotten garden furniture by 'yarn bombing' each pieces using durable, handwoven, recycled soft plastic yarns. Interwoven through the rigid metal frame of each piece, participants will wrap, weave or interlace the vibrant plastic lengths, transforming it with a bright pop of colour.
This session will be held on Friday 16th January 12.30-2.30pm. The session is free, as it's funded - but please do come along if you book a space, and spaces are limited. Hot drinks and biscuits are provided.
The sessions will be held by Caroline Muirhead, a local artist.
