Join us for a quiet and relaxing art doodling session, focusing on the present moment and the act of creating rather than the outcome. Inspired by Zentangles and mandalas, mindful doodling offers benefits including stress reduction, improved focus and increased creativity. The repetitive, structured patterns can be meditative, promoting relaxation and a sense of calm. It also provides a creative outlet, boosting self-esteem and artistic confidence. You do not need to be able to draw to create a beautiful, small piece of art. We will explore patterns and colours, learning step by step how to create intricate looking structured patterns which are simple and calming to draw. All materials for the session will be provided and you can take your work away on the day. Our course is delivered by a certified Art Practitioner.

Alien spoons? Well, only because it is a memorable name and some of the knife grasps feel a bit alien to start with. You will soon get to grips with them and the focus of this workshop is learning to use safe and efficient carving techniques with hand tools - the axe, straight knives and hook knives... maybe also a drawknife on a shave horse. By following good technique you will avoid injuries and with regular stretching this will help you to look after your body as well as the tools. You should leave with the knowledge and confidence to carve safely at home. The tools are relatively cheap and easy to use in a small space. You will have access to a range of tools, but primarily use the Mora wood carving knives (106/120/164s) and be shown traditional designs for optimising strength and utility. Using these traditional tools you will make a spoon from local and sustainable fresh cut green wood - starting with a log and leaving with a spoon. From the initial splitting of the log with a froe or axe, trimming this down with an axe, and on to carving finer details and decorations with knives. Additional skills in building a shave horse and other green wood working can also be taught. This course is run from close to central Edinburgh and is accessible by public transport.  Depending on the weather it can be inside or outdoors in the wildlife garden. Courses can also be arranged to suit your availability! Please get in touch to discuss your requirements, discounts are available for small groups or multiple days.
