This workshop is "Guardians of the Garden".
Transform our green space into a mystical outdoor gallery. Come along to this practical workshop where you will design an image and decorate a round or oval upcycled metal tray. Using vibrant hand cut vinyls, you’ll create striking images including faces and protective "guardian" representations including the evil eye symbol. Bring these finished pieces to life as 'garden protectors' to watch over our community garden.
We have received funding from the Kelvin Valley and Falkirk CLLD Fund to hold a series of creative workshops, to make a variety of different items for our outside space. Themes of the workshops include recycling (and upcycling), reducing waste and promoting circular economy principles.
This session will be held on Friday 13th February 12.30-2.30pm. The session is free, as it's funded - but please do come along if you book a space, and spaces are limited. Click here to book Hot drinks and biscuits are provided.
The sessions will be held by Caroline Muirhead, a local artist.
