Textile art
Collaborative community art installation with the EcoCreative Cluster.
Add your contribution to a new textile art installation for The Rockfield Centre themed on the Gaelic Tree Alphabet.
Participants will use templates to cut out leaf shapes and a simple running stitch to attach letters associated with the tree to the piece.
Local textile artist Deborah Gray has prepared dyed wool fabric and yarn with each of the trees featured to form the basis of the installation.
An informal session for all ages
Feel free to attend as many sessions as you like.
Please bring sharp fabric scissors if you have them.
The image shows a fabric leaf dyed with alder cones with the Ogham character F. Alder is Fearn in Ogham, Fearna in Gaelic.
EcoCreative Cluster
EcoCreative Cluster is a project connecting practitioners focusing on natural dyes and natural materials. The dye garden was established in 2021, led by textile artist Deborah Gray, in the grounds of The Rockfield Centre, Oban. In parallel, curator Naoko Mabon facilitates a series of on-line conversations with international artists.
