Folk Tales: Collaging Our Stories

How do folk tales live on? On the page, in our minds, through recorded images and sounds?

Join Collective Home Embedded Artist Carina NicHaouchine in a workshop where you will have the chance to create a folk tale of your own. Folk stories often come from reimagining everyday domestic life and reconstructing memories. Together we will shape these into something fantastical.

Drawing from Scottish and Kabyle (an ethnic group native to the mountainous Kabylia region of Algeria) aural storytelling traditions, the workshop will explore little-known folk tales, how they have lingered and how we can share and preserve our own mythology - creating magical documentations through collage.

Please bring along any photographs, magazine/newspaper clippings, or visual material that might inspire you. Additional collaging materials will also be provided.

Join us for the unfolding of folk tales old and new.

This workshop is for children and their accompanying adults.

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

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

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.
