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

please book your preferred time slot.

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.

With nearly 4000 views in less than one week this film clearly shows what young people in Helensburgh feel about the proposed supermarket on Common Good land at the Waterfront. Please keep sharing so their voice can be heard!

Argyll and Bute Council have launched a public consultation on their planned sale of Common Good Land on Helensburgh’s waterfront.

We asked young people what they thought and it’s very clear, they want places for leisure, socialising and being active.

Please share this video so their voice can be heard.
