Join artist and forager Freya Skinner for a nourishing day of connection with the natural world, celebrating the arrival of spring through plants, stories, and creativity. Rooted in seasonal foraging traditions and Scottish folklore, this gentle, immersive workshop invites you to slow down, learn, and create in the landscape.
The day begins with a short, guided foraging walk, exploring seasonal plants and the stories, symbolism, and traditional uses woven around them. You’ll then return to the house and enjoy a herb tea blended from ingredients inspired by the foraging walk.
Following a break for lunch we’ll settle into the afternoon for a relaxed, guided folk-art painting session, creating your own symbolic wooden wheel inspired by spring, renewal, and the turning year.
No previous foraging or art experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
Please note:
The day includes a slow, guided outdoor walk on natural ground. Paths may be uneven, muddy, or grassy depending on weather conditions.
The foraging walk will be gentle and unhurried, with frequent stops for learning, rest, and discussion.
Materials will be provided, including paints and brushes. Please let us know if you have sensory sensitivitiesor allergies we should be aware of.
A light lunch is included in the workshop price.
