Easy Sundays: Tapestry Workshop

(Sun 26 Jul: 2pm)

Marking 60 years since the first Craigmillar Festival and 20 years of the Scottish Storytelling Centre, celebrate the power of art as a catalyst for social change.

The Craigmillar Tapestry Project is a community initiative to create a series of tapestry panels representing the rich history of Craigmillar. Designed and stitched by local people with artwork and guidance from artist Andrew Crummy, there are now twenty panels stitched by over five hundred local residents in Craigmillar and Niddrie, who have incorporated elements telling the rich and diverse story of their community from traditional Syrian stitching to imagery of local landmarks. Drop in to find out more about the story of the tapestry and learn some of the techniques yourself!

Supported by TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland) and the Scottish Storytelling Centre to create a warm and welcoming space for the community.
