Edinburgh Climate Festival 2026 - Sign Making Workshop (Part 1)

Inspired by this year’s theme, Intertwined, we’ll come together to create pieces that reflect connection, collaboration and community—just like the hidden mycelium networks that support life beneath our feet.

Blending art and craft, this session focuses on designing and beginning your signage, working collectively to create something meaningful for the festival.

In this session, you’ll learn to:

• Create stencils and outlines for bold, clear lettering
• Cut and shape your designs
• Begin painting and experimenting with your ideas
• Upcycle discarded boards into functional signage

Your work will become part of a public event—helping to guide and connect people across the festival space.
