🗓 Sunday, September 14 | ⏰ 11am - 1pm
📍 Start: Castle Semple Visitors Centre
Get inspired by the beauty around you—and turn it into art you can stitch!
In this relaxed outdoor workshop led by artist Ellie Mills (@ellietype), you’ll start by exploring the natural surroundings of Castle Semple.
Select an element from the environment that catches your eye: a leaf, a bird, a flower, a tree. Draw it on to a fabric of your choice using fabric pens.
We will then stitch your artwork by hand with colourful threads, and simple sewing techniques.
No experience needed—just curiosity and a love for nature.
🌿 Calm, creative, and completely beginner-friendly

Ellie Mills – aka Ellietype – is a Glasgow-based visual artist & designer, with an interdisciplinary practice, focused on exploring identity through traditionally gendered crafts. From hand-painted signs to upcycled textile pieces to large-scale public artworks, her work is a celebration of vibrant queerness and loud, unapologetic femininity. She often works collaboratively with other makers on heritage- & community-focused projects, and enjoys using craft and storytelling to create playful, immersive worlds for people to explore.
