THE HEARTH

MONTHLY MAKERS GROUP AROUND THE FIRE

East Pollokshields Quad

Gather : Connect : Make

People gathered around a campfire under a shelter in a backyard at dusk, with leafless trees and houses in the background.

Thanks to National Lottery Communities Funding we currently run monthly meet-ups where we support you to focus on making something out of natural materials with your own hands, and we always have the fire on. These sessions run through the winter months and all resources and materials are provided, along with a cup of tea.

The intention is to provide a welcoming sheltered outdoor space, close to nature, to allow you to reconnect with your creativity beside the generative warmth of a communal fire. 

Held on the first Saturday afternoon of the month, in East Pollokshields Quad, Glasgow, these sessions are in collaboration with the Sophie at Glasgow Forest School and we will bring along guest facilitators for special themed sessions. More info below.

These sessions are free to attend. If you would like to come along, please email to let us know which session you’re coming to projects@wearewonder.org.
