I'm so excited to be presenting several sessions as part of this year's Scottish Geology Festival. Everyone is welcome to come along and talk rocks (and also make some fun stuff). I'll be leading three workshops:

​​

Rock Felting

Sunday, June 7, 2026, 1:00-3:00 pm, Rouken Glen Park, Glasgow - Book here

Sunday, June 14, 2026, 1:00-3:00 pm, Granton Beach, Edinburgh - Book here

​During this session, we'll explore some of the fascinating rock history of our local areas, before getting hands-on and creating our own felted rock masterpieces. This will be a fun and leisurely afternoon out. While the event is part of the Scottish Geology Festival, you don't need to a rock expert (I'm certainly not!), it's more about getting outdoors, learning a new skill, and appreciating the beauty of the world around us. Participants will be invited to take a deeper look at a specific stone and really get to know them. In keeping with the theme of this year's Scottish Geology Festival - 300 Years of Deep Time - we'll think about what we can learn from these rocks. We'll then learn the technique of wet felting, and set to work creating beautiful felted stones from our finds. Find full details by clicking through to the booking links.

The Torah of Rocks

Time TBC, Glasgow's Southside - Booking info coming soon

Giant mythical worms for cutting through hard stone to build an ancient Temple? Elaborate gemstone layouts for interpreting divine judgement? Stone pillows? Rocks infected with leprosy? Ancient Jewish texts are full of stories, laws and fascinating insights into the way that rocks have been held in religious and cultural traditions. These are just some of the stories that we’ll explore in this session, which is for people of all backgrounds and beliefs. While the stories we’re looking at come from the Jewish tradition, there will also be space to share your own cultural or religious associations with stones.
