Rubbish Tales: The Journey Diary of the Litter

Date:  Thursday 5th March 2026

Time:  12.30 – 4.30 pm

Cost:  FREE – in association with Solway Firth Partnership and funded by Marine Fund Scotland

During the workshop, you will:

• Explore the issue of marine plastic and ocean litter through storytelling
• Learn how everyday actions—like beach cleaning and reducing waste—make a big difference
• Create your own cartoon strip that brings these themes to life
• Experiment with character design, visual humour, and narrative flow
• Work alongside others who care about creativity, community, and our natural environment

✨ Plus — selected cartoon strips created during the workshop will be chosen for display in the Project Gather Exhibition!
This is a fantastic opportunity to have your artwork showcased as part of a community‑focused environmental project.

No artistic experience needed — just curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to learn.
All materials are provided.

Why take part?
By turning environmental challenges into visual stories, we can spark conversations, inspire action, and celebrate the positive impact of community-led projects like beach cleans and plastic reduction campaigns.

Come and help us turn marine pollution into powerful storytelling — and leave with your own unique cartoon strip, with the chance to be part of the Project Gather exhibition!
