Fàilte, Sgioba Ealain!

Sgioba Ealain is an inclusive space for all Gaelic-speaking kids to learn about the world of art, historical and contemporary, through play, crafting, and obviously, the Gaelic language! 

This year our programme will run from September-December 2025, and again from January-May 2026, with an exhibition and fundraiser in June 2026. We also have a special block of workshops in collaboration with the Gaelic Futurisms exhibition running from September 27th-November 15th, details can be found on the eventbrite page linked below.

These workshops are suitable for primary school children, though S1 pupils who have already attended Sgioba Ealain workshops and wish to continue with us are absolutely welcome to return. Children learning Gaelic are also welcome, but please note we do not speak English as a general rule during Sgioba Ealain, so a certain level of conversational Gaelic is necessary.

Ideally, children would be in attendance for the whole programme, as some of our projects overlap (for example, at the start of this year we made our own paper in January, tie dyed shirts in February, and then screenprinted onto both our paper and shirts in March.)
