Join Collective Home Embedded Artist Alicia Storie for a workshop focussed on making artworks from the landscape we call 'home'. Alicia is a climate artist and designer with a particular interest in circular design, sustainable materials, and climate conscious design within our homes and communities. 

This two-hour session will begin with a walk around Cove Park's 50-acre site, where participants will consider seasonal change, colour, texture, and form. Work in the studio will be inspired by the prompt ‘What does home mean to you’? Participants will make artworks using handmade paper, plant-based pigments, and responsibly gathered natural materials. Following the workshop these compostable artworks can be displayed at home or returned to the landscape.

This workshop is for children and their accompanying adults offering a space to slow down, immerse yourself in nature and work directly with natural materials

This workshop will run twice throughout the day, please book either:

• The morning session 10am –12pm 
• The afternoon session 2pm – 4pm

Everything will be provided and no prior experience is needed but please dress appropriately for the weather. 

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.
