Islay Mixed Media Art Experiences and Creative Workshops

Enjoy a visit to our Pottery and Art Studio on Islay.

Mindfulness and Art Workshops

Discover, Explore and Connect with nature’s patterns and shapes with our art experiences on Islay. Find your inner voice and let your creativity flow.
Have fun as we guide you on a journey of self discovery, exploring your own unique creative style.

In our Islay Studio, we combine mindfulness, relaxation and art. Our workshops are an opportunity for you to enjoy some creative fun. Release creative blocks and get into a flow. Capture stories from the shoreline, rich seascapes, and beautiful landscapes, through art adventures and exercises, with a focus on the process.

Our mixed media art workshops last for an hour and a half, and can be enjoyed as one off workshops, or you can come along more regularly and grow your creative journey.

Our workshops are based around the themes of ‘How Do you See the Sea?’ and ‘How Do you See the Seasons?’

How Do you See the Sea?

Enjoy as I guide you on a mindful, art journey exploring Islay’s beautiful seascapes and landscapes. The patterns the ebb and flow of the tides cast. The shades and colours, the textures and shapes. The delicate forms of beachy treasures. Enjoy experimenting with a variety of mixed media as we delve into charcoals, pastels, watercolour and acrylic. Relax and release creative blocks and discover your own inner creative voice through a series of gently guided mindful and art exercises.

Workshops will be available on Mondays throughout the summer, subject to demand, running from 2.00pm-3.30pm

Booking is essential. £30 per person, all materials provided.

Testimonials

Persabus Farm, Port Askaig. Thanks to the excellent cottages at Persabus we had a really great 1st holiday on Islay. We were a party of 4 adults and five children and, by taking both cottages, we had plenty of room and enjoyed meals around the ample farmhouse table in Persabus cottage. Rosemary and Donald have kindly provided everything required for a good holiday. Right out of the door, there’s fantastic scenery, with views over to the famous Paps of Jura. A lovely quiet lane winds up the coast to the distillery at Bunnahabhain (excellent and informative tour by Scott). Close to ferry at Port Askaig so you could easily walk and go as foot passengers to Jura if you wanted to leave the car behind. We took the car and went up to Ardlussa, deer watching. We briefly explored most parts of Islay accessible by car. Interesting museum of Islay life at Port Charlotte. The one wet day was taken care of by Rosemary in the pottery- the children all loved doing their pots and I’m pleased to report no breakages on the way home. Having enjoyed plenty of Hebridean holidays in the past to other islands I have no hesitation in recommending Persabus and Islay. Many thanks Rosemary and Donald.
