Welcome! Join Folktales for New Scots by Beetroots Collective – a series of free, friendly art workshops for ages 16+ Folktales for New Scots is about community and cultural exchange through local folktales and crafting. A creative meeting place for people from different cultural backgrounds – bringing together New Scots and more long-established Scottish residents. Whether you’d like to get lost in quiet print-making alongside others, or chat with new people and share your culture, this is a space for meeting other locals and being creative together. Who is it for? Everyone aged 16+ We welcome New Scots - people with recent migration and asylum experience – and also ‘born and bred’ locals and long-established residents. What to expect at this workshop (3rd October): • A guided printing-making workshop with Marta Adamowicz and Robert Motyka (Beetroots Collective: https://beetroots.org) • Scottish folktales from a local storyteller • A relaxed, welcoming space to create and connect • All materials included, no experience needed. Accessibility: This workshop takes place in the Classroom at the Pyramid at Anderston. The Classroom is a first floor room, accessible via a platform lift (or via stairs). There is a wheelchair accessible toilet on the same floor. About the workshops: This is a series of workshops, designed to build on each other. The workshops are based on creative print-making, with several workshops also featuring Scottish stories told by a local storyteller. Can I attend more than one session? Yes! You’re welcome to attend one session or many. Artwork will build from week to week, resulting in a film shown at an outdoor street celebration in March 2027. The project is funded by Creative Scotland National Lottery Fund.
