Zine + Collage Workshop

As a celebration of our Wild Seed storytelling workshops, we will collect the experiences we shared – thinking about seeds in relation to belonging, movement, magic and intuition – to create collaborative collages.

Expect a warm and relaxed space to share seed stories and tales of growing – your own and from others that you are carrying with you. This will be a relaxed workshop where you can read, write, draw, scan and collage archival and collected materials.

All materials and resources will be provided on the day but if you have some of your own writing or any material you would like to share, like seeds, soil, songs, poems or photographs, please bring them along to add into the mix. You don’t need to have attended any previous Wild Seed workshops, all welcome.

There will be an option to eat together near the close of the workshop. Please specify any dietary requirements when booking.

About the project

Wild Seed is a project organised by Glasgow Seed Library, part of Scotland’s Year of Stories, inspired by Octavia Butler’s epic speculative novel of the same name. Writers, folklorists and artists lead a series of storytelling workshops inspired by the practices, cultures and histories of seed saving, plant stewardship and earth care. The project will culminate with the creation of a publication of texts, poems, songs and images.
