Mosslings Workshop

Sunday 12th July, 10am – 12pm & 2pm – 4pm

Spott Village Hall, Dunbar

Come and create “Mosslings” – small sculptural forms made from materials foraged from the local landscape.

Inspired by Scottish folk traditions, you’ll transform plants, fibres, and found natural materials into tactile creations that will join a communal exhibition in July. If you wish, your Mosslings can later be returned to the landscape to nourish new growth.

What You’ll Do:

  • Take a short walk around Spott Village Hall to forage materials
  • Learn to make cordage from natural fibres
  • Explore simple weaving techniques using your foraged finds
  • Create your own Mossling through guided, hands-on crafting

Why Attend: This workshop offers a chance for slow, creative making that connects you to

Dunbar’s landscape and heritage. Work with your hands, explore traditional techniques, and be part of a collective art project rooted in place and community.

What to Expect: A relaxed, beginner-friendly session focusing on tactile craft and working with natural materials. No prior experience needed – just curiosity and an interest in making and exploring what the landscape has to offer.

Practical Details:

  • Suitable for adults and children (7+)
  • Young children must be accompanied by a supervising adult
  • Wear suitable clothing and shoes for exploring outdoors and getting dirty!
