The exhibition features work they produced inspired by the natural materials of Shetland, including a magical ‘Wishing Tree’ with painted and decorated branches. Each branch will give you a different wish if you stand under it and the wind blows in the right direction!
Shetland Arts runs blocks of Saturday workshops for 7 - 11 year olds, encouraging creativity and learning across many different artforms. Participants on the latest sessions - Creativity Club Craft - collected natural materials from around Shetland: stones, branches, shells, fleece, pine cones and feathers, and had lots of creative ideas of what to make with them. The young artists have made sculpted figures, objects and stone pictures, each telling a different story.
Keep an eye out for the next block of Creativity Club sessions!
