The music workshop will involve making and recording music made by participants and will be run by Mark Small Productions:
Two basic recording set ups will be available to have fun with. These would include
microphones and synthesizers. Musical parts could then be recorded onto the
production software and used to build musical pieces. The attendees at the
workshop could bring any instruments they play, these can be incorporated into
their project, vocals can also be recorded with these set ups.
The aim would be to have the participants use both the production set ups over the
course of the day. Their finished pieces can be put onto CDs for them to take
home. The sessions would cover basic recording and
editing techniques. Pre-recorded samples to build the tracks,
this will allow any participants who may not own or play an instrument to build
a track in a style and genre of their choosing.
There is a huge sample library
and can pretty much cover any particular style. The main objective would be to
keep the sessions fun, and who knows we may even discover some hidden talent.
The visual art workshop will possibly have two things going on at the same time depending on demand.
The workshop will be run by practicing artists/ arts educator Gillian Adair McFarland and Chloe Rayner.
Gillian says, "This workshop will have a theme of "Go Create" An action packed
session with printing, pressing and framing and filming...the opportunity to
make your own framed art pieces as well as creating a short animated youtube
clip from a flick book format"
The third workshop is being run by Furniture Plus and is called Trash to Treasure. On the day choose from a selection of chairs from the showroom, where we will be up-cycling with paint and learning some simple upholstery techniques.
All materials, furniture are provided and we even throw in lunch. No previous experience is needed. Go home with a completely unique piece...perhaps a gift for someone else?

As with our first workshop they are all free of charge, lunch and travel expenses are provided. Some help with child care costs may also be available.
We have yet to finalise dates and locations but workshops will be held in locations around Fife. We welcome any one from Fife, Edinburgh or Dundee areas to attend.
I have to say places are limited to a maximum of twelve participants for each workshop.
