- **Event Name**: Colour the Rain: From Plain Umbrella to Personal Style
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: What you will learn: At Stirling Street Art Centre, we’re turning rainy-day essentials into walking works of art.

Join this relaxed and inspiring 18+ workshop where you’ll transform a plain green, UPF 50+ umbrella (or bring your own) into something uniquely yours. Whether you’re drawn to bold florals, calming nature-inspired designs, abstract colour play, or something deeply personal, this is your chance to create an umbrella that tells your story.

This is a hands-on, beginner-friendly session. You’ll explore simple techniques including cutting, gluing, and basic hand sewing using a running stitch. No prior experience needed just a willingness to play, experiment, and let your creativity wander.

Think of it as part art workshop, part creative escape. There’s no pressure for perfection here, just colour, texture, and the quiet satisfaction of making something with your hands.

What’s included:

A plain green umbrella ready to transform or BYO. 

A vibrant selection of plain and patterned fabrics and materials (feel free to bring some items from home)

Guidance through simple stitching and design techniques

A welcoming, supportive, creative space where individuality is celebrated!

What to expect:

Gentle step-by-step guidance, with plenty of room to do your own thing.

Inspiration from sample designs.  Check out the photos and videos in the discussion thread.

Plenty of time to create at your own pace.

By the end of the day, you will leave with a one-of-a-kind umbrella that turns even the greyest day into something a little brighter.

✨ Come as you are. Make something unexpected. Take home a piece of joy. 

Bring a friend to share in this rewarding, meditative experience.

Getting involved in the arts is a simple way to support your mental wellbeing, especially when you Act, Belong and Commit.

Belong – Connect with others through shared interests. Join a group, take a class or get involved in your local community.
