Today l signed up for a craft workshop for my daughter and myself taking place next week. The teacher is not only an artist but also a trained zoologist and we will be learning to make fish/animal sculptures from recycled aluminium. They are also doing classes in ‘pointillist’ wall hangings, weaving and clay work. The photo of the fish is what we will be trying to achieve.
G. is taking me there for a birthday night out. Talk about atmosphere and a reminder of times past! Imagine a small room lit by candles, a giant blazing forge, a stiff drink, a bite to eat and good traditional music. Can you hear everyone in the small space chatting and singing away? You couldn’t want for more!
Below is part of the brochure for this festival:
A different world on your doorstep…
Unwind to the memorable tang of sea and loch. Relax to the gentle underfoot crunch of sand and shell. Breathe contentment with the quiet scent of resin from stately pines. Tranquility laps around you. Thrill to the wondrous sights of soaring birds, inquisitive seals or delicate flowers while heather and moss put a spring in your step. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery of hills and water. Feel invigorated, renewed. Experience the music, the songs, the words, the laughter. Moving images caught on film Talk about art in shop windows - like it question it, smile at it. Surprise yourself at a great new craft. Remember for long after the friendly welcome. Think how simple it is to return, wherever you stay, whatever the season.
