SUMMARY:Tartan: History\, Clans\, and Creative Design
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Mairi MacPherson for an engaging\, hands-on workshop exploring the rich history\, structure\, and creative potential of tartan. This session will trace the development of tartan from its early origins to the emergence of clan tartans\, examining how patterns became associated with families\, identities\, and traditions in Scotland. \nParticipants will learn how tartans are constructed\, from thread counts and colour choices to the principles of weaving that create recognisable patterns. Through practical demonstrations\, you’ll see how changing colours or weaving sequences can dramatically alter the appearance of a tartan\, and how different methods of pleating the same tartan can produce strikingly different visual effects. \nThe workshop will also introduce how tartans are made and recorded today\, including how they are formally registered. Participants will then have the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned by designing a tartan of their own\, experimenting with pattern\, colour\, and structure to create something personal and unique. \nThis workshop is suitable for ages 12+. All children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event. \nBook your place on Eventbrite at this link. \nTickets are £10 + booking fee (£1.55)
