Residents and visitors in Ayr will be invited to explore creative ways of reusing materials during a programme of three Climate Week 2026 workshops at The Auld Toy Shop.
Organised by Narture CIC, the sessions are listed for Saturday 8 October 2026 at 25 Newmarket Street, Ayr, KA7 1LL. The event will run across the day, with separate workshops led by Ruth Gibson, Yonah Mudibo and Rebecca Scott.
Three creative sessions
The first workshop is scheduled from 10am until noon. Ruth Gibson will introduce participants to making eco inks from foraged plants, offering an activity that connects natural materials with practical art-making.
From 1pm to 3pm, Yonah Mudibo will lead a session focused on creating “weird and wonderful” relief portraits from recycled objects. Participants will be able to use discarded items as the starting point for three-dimensional or textured artwork.
The final workshop is due to take place from 3pm to 5pm. Rebecca Scott will guide attendees in making a bespoke photo frame from recycled paper and cardboard.
Booking and access information
The listing says all three workshops use recycled materials and are planned with their environmental impact in mind. They are also described as beginner friendly, with the artists providing support throughout the sessions, so previous experience is not required.
Places are limited and tickets are offered on a donation basis. The listing includes options to visit the event website and book, although it does not state a fixed ticket price or provide a separate direct booking link.
Children are welcome to attend, but must be accompanied by an adult. Disabled access is also listed as available.
The workshops are part of the wider Climate Week 2026 programme and are designed to give families, beginners and other participants several opportunities to make artwork from foraged, recycled or reused materials. Anyone planning to attend will need to check availability when booking because capacity is limited.
The event listing identifies The Auld Toy Shop as the venue and gives the address as 25 Newmarket Street, Ayr. It also provides links for the organiser’s website and social media channels, although no further booking details or ticket costs are included in the supplied information.
