Start of the new 2024 season of EcoCreative Cluster!

EcoCreative Cluster is a project hosted by The Rockfield Centre, Oban, which focuses on natural dyes, pigments and the use of natural materials in art and craft. Grounded in the creation and ongoing cultivation of a community dye garden, it provides workshops and learning opportunities for the local community, led by textile artist Deborah Gray and invited specialist tutors. The project also has an international network weaving dimension led by curator Naoko Mabon, which includes a series of recorded on-line conversations and collaborations with international artists who use natural dyes in their practice.

We will unveil an exciting series of 2024 EcoCreative Cluster activities in due course. Please follow either (or all!) @deborah.gray7, @naokomabon or #EcoCreativeCluster on Instagram for news and updates.

The 2024 season activity of EcoCreative Cluster is supported by the award received by Oban Communities Trust from The National Lottery Community Fund, which was made possible by National Lottery. Thank you very much!
