About this venue
*Participation in these workshops is free for all, but places are strictly limited. We appreciate your support by not booking a place unless you are sure that you will attend. We also ask that you only book into one of the above sessions to make sure that as many people as possible can enjoy this experience. For further information contact [email protected] Create a small trinket to hold your treasures or perhaps a wee basket to put the too-hard stuff. In this three-hour workshop, you will learn the basics of the hidden coil basketry technique including how to make a starter circle, build and shape your piece, and finish your work. The materials are simple – raffia, a wide-eyed tapestry needle, and your hands. Basket weaving is a tactile, hands-on craft that involves bringing together disparate threads into a cohesive form, something with capacity to hold space. It’s a restorative, incremental process, one that can’t be rushed – with the hidden gift of inviting you, the maker, to slow down. Sally Holliday is a local maker, art therapist, and creative facilitator inspired by the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Her work centres around weaving, collage, and assembly techniques incorporating natural materials and reimagining found objects. Sally adopts a playful and curious approach to workshop facilitation, inviting attendees to suspend any expectations of a perfect product in favour of embodied experiencing and making something uniquely yours. In 2026, INFUSE invites you to explore the many ways creativity can take shape. From drawing, collage, stitching, and paper arts, to puppetry, music, storytelling, poetry, and soundscapes, each workshop encourages participants to experiment, play, and make connections between ideas, materials, sound and senses. Led by professional artists, INFUSE workshops are designed for adults 18+ of all creative skill levels. You’ll be guided through hands-on activities inspired by the artists’ own practices, giving you the tools, techniques, and confidence to explore new ways of expressing yourself and unlocking your creativity. INFUSE 2026 is about the joy of making, the power of play, and the many threads that connect our stories, voices, and-of course- our imagination.
