Beads of Migration Workshop with Sonny Cooper
October 23, 2025 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
As part of The Wild Goose Festival, join jeweller Sonny for a creative drop-in workshop exploring the many journeys of migration. Just as geese travel great distances across borders, people have long moved between places, carrying stories, traditions, and connections with them.
In this workshop, you’ll use our map of the world and a selection of colourful beads, each linked to different countries and regions, to design your own bracelet. The beads become a way to reflect on movement and belonging, while giving you the freedom to create something completely personal.
This hands-on activity is suitable for all ages, encouraging both creativity and conversation about movement, belonging, and connection. So drop in and create a unique piece of jewellery that tells a migration story.
Sonah—known also as Sonny—is a Scottish‐Pakistani jeweller, historian, and maker based in Scotland. A self‐taught artist, Sonny crafts handcrafted, story‐rich pieces from responsibly sourced and recycled metals, forging meaningful connections between past and present. Passionate about story telling, their pieces result in heirloom‐worthy treasures with minimal environmental impact.
