About this Event
It’s an informal, welcoming workshop to reflect on how the Lyne Burn and surrounding greenspaces have changed and what it means to you.
Have a go at making Cyanotype postcards inspired by your connection to the Burn, or make a simple linen clootie, inspired by Dunfermline’s rich textile heritage, to share your personal stories and experiences interacting with the surrounding greenspaces.
Enjoy some light food and good company while we listen, reflect, and learn from each other.
Everyone’s welcome - all ages & abilities - no skills needed - just bring yourself!
