Finger Knitting

Join us for a drop-in finger knitting session where all you need are your hands. This technique doesn’t require needles so it’s perfect to take home and continue in your own time.

Knitting is one of the oldest crafts in the world, passed down through generations by hand and by word of mouth. In the spirit of this year's Doors Open Day Theme, Heritage at Risk, we're inviting you to come along, give it a try and become hooked on knitting!  Finger knitting is a great introduction to the craft and it's a perfect way to feel the rhythm and meditative quality of knitting for the first time.

Seasoned knitters can take their skills further by giving arm knitting a try.

Come for ten minutes or stay for an hour. All ages welcome. All materials provided.

• Book the drop in times that suit you best. 

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.
