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 (17th September):

• 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 short film shown at an outdoor street party in March 2027.

The project is funded by Creative Scotland National Lottery Fund.
