Saturday Studios – Compostable Art
Location
Date
Time
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.
Everyone’s ideas will inform Alicia’s research and work across Argyll, and participants will be invited to help shape and take part in future Collective Home events and projects.
Two workshops will take place on 29 August. For further information and to reserve your free place, please visit our Ticket Tailor page.
Collective Home: Community, Creativity & Action in Argyll is one of the 23 Scotland-wide projects awarded funding through Culture Collective in 2026-2027.
Funded by the Scottish Government, Culture Collective places creativity at the heart of community development, supporting artists and organisations to work directly with communities, respond to local priorities, strengthen local identity and create paid opportunities for creative practitioners.
Focussed upon the concept of home and what this means now for communities in Argyll, our project reflects the distinct character and composition of our rural and coastal region. Through sustained projects devised collaboratively by the creative practitioners we support and the participating communities, we will explore what home means for young people in Argyll, for those facing the challenges of the climate crisis, and for those with lived experience of displacement and settling in this region. Developed in partnership with local organisations, our work will harness the power of creativity and collective action to build community, promote cultural exchange, and enhance lives.
