Design with Waste: Make Your Own Draft Excluder

As part of our Argyll-wide Collective Home programme, we are introducing a new series of free community workshops focused on sustainability. These workshops are hosted by Embedded Artist Alicia Storie whose work explores how climate change is affecting our sense of home.
Join us for a practical workshop exploring how we can use waste textiles to make our homes more sustainable. Together, we’ll transform reclaimed fabrics into a draft excluder while sharing skills, ideas and conversation around waste, energy and climate action in our community. Come along, meet others locally, get creative and make something useful for your home.
Please note this workshop is not held at Cove Park, but at An Roth Community Centre on the Isle of Mull.
If you have questions about the workshop, please get in touch with Alicia directly.
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.
