Art in Nature workshops, Shetland, multiple dates

 

Dive into our cultural and natural landscape through the mediums of botanical illustration, sound recording, and jewellery design. From Stenness in the North to Catpund Burn in the South, walk through Shetland’s past and present and bring it to life with the help of renowned artists, Helen Robertson, Diane Garrick, and Jenny Sturgeon.
We are running three lots of these Art in Nature workshops. Participants are encouraged to attend the guided walk and all workshops for the workshop series they select to attend (except for Helen Robertson’s workshops where attendees are asked to attend either the first two or last two of her four workshops, as well as the guided walk). The guided walks will take place from 10am – 12pm. Workshops will take place between 10am – 2pm and lunch will be provided.
