Create a Foraging Bag

Come with us on a summer journey and discover the benefits of plants through a creative lens.

This hands-on course begins at Barshaw Park Community Garden, where you will explore natural dyeing, cyanotype printing, and embroidery. Using the fabrics you create and dye, you will make your own foraging bag to take with you on a guided foraging walk through the Braes.

Along the way, you will learn about local plants, their uses, and the connections between creativity, nature, and wellbeing. In the final session, you will gather your favourite foraging recipes, plant illustrations, and discoveries into a handmade mini zine to take home.

Whether you are interested in art, nature, or simply trying something new, this course offers a unique opportunity to connect with plants, creativity, and your local landscape.
