Creating from Landscape : Zine Workshop \\ Cruthachadh à Cruth-tìre : Bùth-obrach Zine
Join us for a special workshop exploring the connections between creativity, language, and nature through the art of zine-making. Gaelic culture, language and identity is deeply rooted in landscapes, wildlife, and other natural elements. We’ll express our own interpretations of this connection by creating zines relating to our personal experiences of the world, whether through writing, illustration, or memories – however, we'll mainly be using the accessible medium of collage.
No prior experience with zines or Gaelic is needed – this workshop is open to everyone, regardless of skill level. Come and explore how creativity can awaken language and heritage in new and meaningful ways!

Thigibh còmhla rinn airson bùth-obrach sònraichte a’ rannsachadh ceanglaichean eadar cruthachalachd, cànan is nàdar tro shaoghal nan zine. Ann an cultar na Gàidhlig, tha a’ Ghàidhlig freumhaichte ann an seallaidhean-tìre, beathaichean is eileamaidean nàdarra. Cuiridh sinn an cèill ar beachdan fhèin air a’ chonaltradh seo le bhith a’ dèanamh ar n-eisimpleirean zine fhèin, bho bhàrdachd is dealbhan gu faclan is cuimhneachain pearsanta – ach bidh sinn gu mòr a’ cleachdadh am meadhan ruigsinneach de collage.
Chan fheum thu eòlas ro-làimh air zines no Gàidhlig – chaidh an obair-lann seo a chruthachadh airson a h-uile duine aig gach ìre. Thig agus dèan sgrùdadh air mar as urrainn do chruthachalachd cànan agus dualchas a dhùsgadh ann an dòighean ùra is brìoghmhor!
