Have you ever wanted to learn to make a kilt?

You may know this about me (or not!), part of my work life has always included an aspect of education. As a researcher, I supervised students, gave lectures, and did small group tutorials. Even now, I teach jewellery workshops, and when I do shows, I think they’re an opportunity for dialogue about science.

I’ve enjoyed taking part in public events doing demonstrations and activities with all ages, all in the name of science. I enjoy teaching. Sharing knowledge, helping someone else accomplish something, seeing their creativity come alive. These all bring me joy.

Which is a bit of a long way of saying that I’m quite excited to be launching my first kiltmaking worshop.

Whether you’re Scottish or not, you too, can learn how to make an heirloom, stitched by hand, traditional Scottish kilt. The instruction spans four days, with time in between to continue stitching, I teach you how to do the many different steps to construct a completely made-to-measure garment that, with care, will last a lifetime and beyond!

If you have any questions, you’re welcome to ask me. Registration is open until October 19th, although the course doesn’t start until November 19th.

I hope you’ll come on this exciting adventure with me!
