Ghillie Dhu Christmas Workshop

Join us (Katie Macdonald and Inês Mulford) for a nature-inspired workshop!

Children (ages 7+) will hear the tale of the Ghillie Dhu, a forest spirit from Scottish folklore, before going on a woodland wander to gather natural materials from his home. Using these found treasures and mixed media, participants will create a unique Christmas nature wall hanging and ornament. This workshop will spark creativity, promote imaginative expression, and encourage a deeper connection with nature through playful art making.

Drinks and snacks provided. All materials included.

Spaces are limited so please book.
