Lookout! - Drawing sessions on Bressay
This Easter - explore stories from lighthouses through creative drawing!
With Bressay lighthouse as our starting theme, we’ll begin by exploring different viewpoints and spaces in our drawings to see how pictures take us on journeys.
These are companion workshops to the Lookout! sessions at Mareel. We’ll also use sound, photographs and film to learn more about the history of people who lived and worked at lighthouses, retracing their experiences through imaginative drawing activities. To connect stories from the past with the present, we’ll then develop our ideas, bringing layers of memory and history into our pictures.
Each workshop is again a standalone event, but participants are still encouraged to attend more than one session to develop their ideas. Bressay bairns can also attend the Lerwick ones if they wish.
Recommended for primary-school aged children.
Please bring a drink and a snack for the break if you wish!
Participation is free, and all materials are provided. Booking is essential as spaces are limited.
