On this 3-hour well-being focussed workshop we explore how yoga techniques can enhance our creative practice.&nbsp;Yoga is designed to cultivate mindfulness, focus and inner peace through physical asanas (postures), breath control and meditation. These practices impact the body and mind, helping to reduce stress and improve our overall well-being, as well as rid our minds of the clutter that blocks our progress allowing us to be at our most creative.Local yoga teacher and creative collaborator Jo Harbisher will share beginner-friendly yoga practices. Over a course of three sessions - which can be booked individually - we will explore the synergies between these two ancient disciplines, and how they can help us discover untapped reservoirs of creative potential.<blockquote fr-original-style="" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(94, 53, 177); color: rgb(94, 53, 177); margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 5px; box-sizing: border-box;">&ldquo;My poetry became less intellectual&hellip;and my writing became more alive in image, detail, and syntax&rdquo;.

Learn how to quickly capture the world around you in ink and watercolour.
Known locally as the Edinburgh Sketcher, ink and watercolour artist Mark Kirkham is well-known on social media for the sketches he creates on the streets of Edinburgh, and beyond.
On this 2.5 hour sketching tour, Mark will guide you around some of his favourite, nearby sketching spots, picking out details in architecture and nature that will help describe the techniques he has picked up over a decade of sketching around Edinburgh.
Each class will touch on details, perspectives, depth and composition, as you go from 5 minute exercises to relax the hand and work on composition, to 30 minute detailed vistas as you walk around nearby beautiful and historic locations.
You will start and finish at The Arienas Collective, where you will have access to a selection of hot refreshments, toilet facilities, and can leave any belongings before heading out on your tour.
Mark's sketching tours are perfect for all levels, from beginners to those who would like to learn more about his unique speed-sketching style, or to practice sketching with ink and watercolour.
All materials, access to equipment and refreshments are included in the price. There is a new, optional kit available to buy which comes in one of Mark's lovely printed tote bags. 


A note about the Scottish weather

We're used to a bit of wind and rain in Edinburgh, so please do check the forecast before you leave and dress appropriately. In the event of extreme weather conditions which require us to cancel the outdoors sketching tour, we will sketch indoors using a range of visual references.

In this workshop you&rsquo;ll learn all about printing with traditional materials, in the same way that books and newspapers were originally printed with vintage metal and wood type.&nbsp;

Choose to make greetings cards, postcards or bookmarks with your own personalised message. You may want to bring along a short quote or sentiment, a sentence is perfect, but we&rsquo;ll have plenty of ideas on hand to inspire you too.

You&rsquo;ll set your chosen metal type and print it on one of our Adana tabletop presses. These portable machines are perfect for the hobby printer and a great way to get started in letterpress printing. We&rsquo;ll show you the basics of how to set the press up for printing, how to register your print perfectly and how to clean everything down at the end of the session.&nbsp;

There will also be chance to play with some of our wooden type and coloured inks to print initials and short words.<hr fr-original-style="" style="border-color: var(--border-muted); border-style: solid; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;">

She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character&rsquo;s life and be swept into the narrative as if she&rsquo;s been there all along. She&rsquo;s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She&rsquo;s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she&rsquo;d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.In non-fiction, she&rsquo;s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you&rsquo;d never thought you would be. She&rsquo;d also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.She&rsquo;s not currently taking on YA, children&rsquo;s, fantasy or science fiction projects.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Sian would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;<p id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(In addition to the paid sessions, Sian is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.
