In this workshop, artist and Cove Park's Curator of Engagement Emma Henderson will introduce a simple form of hand weaving using a variety of knots and stitches. Through playful experimentation with materials and texture, participants will learn how different techniques can be combined to build their own small woven artwork. Emma will share practical guidance, tips, and tricks along the way, helping you develop confidence with the process while leaving plenty of room to explore and create something uniquely your own.

This free workshop is designed for children and their accompanying families or carers. 

Adults without accompanying children are invited to attend the workshop in the morning.

All materials will be provided and no prior experience is needed. 

If you have questions about workshop accessibility, please get in touch with Emma Henderson (Curator of Engagement).

Support

Cove Park is a charity and most of our funding for our residencies and engagement workshops is paid by trusts, foundations and individual donors. Creative Scotland currently funds just 29% of our annual costs and individual philanthropy is essential to sustain our work.

Our Saturday Studio programme provides an inspiring environment for self-expression through creative education. Without this engagement initiative, young people in our rural community would not have access to free and consistent creative activity. If you would like to help underwrite the costs required to keep our engagement workshops free and open, you can join our Friends of Cove Park programme or make a donation when booking.
