Creative sessions at Comrie Art Hut
Nature will inspire sketching taster sessions in studio
A new venue for budding artists has been launched at Comrie Croft.
Comrie Art Hut is run by local artist and tea specialist, Beverly Wainwright, who has studied at Edinburgh’s Leith School of Art and Bridge House art school in Ullapool.
Beverly is collaborating with artists from across Scotland to offer a variety of week- long creative courses over the summer, and weekend courses in the autumn.
The hut will be open for general viewing and free sketching taster sessions, on the theme of ‘Patterns in Nature’, from 10.30am until 3.30pm on Thursday, May 9, and Saturday, June 1.
Sketching materials will be provided to draw and explore patterns and shapes using natural materials such as leaves, mosses, florals and stones.
Beverly said: “I set up the art hut to provide a creative space for beginners, or more experienced artists alike, to come along and express themselves through a variety
of visual arts courses.
“I’m so excited to work with some wonderful and talented art tutors and to finally launch my new venture.”
The hut includes a light and peaceful studio and teaching room and is said to be perfect for adults looking for a creative opportunity
and a chance to take time out from their busy lives.
At the beginning of June, Beverly will host her first art course at the hut – a fourday experience involving sketching while on local walks.
The course is described as an opportunity to relax, connect with the local landscape and enjoy the freedom to work in the studio.
Courses have also been lined- up wi t h artist bookmaker, Jan Breckenridge, and local multimedia artist Liz Kemp.
