MORAY residents are encouraged to get creative at a series of new nature-inspired workshops held in the ‘secret’ wellbeing garden at Buckie Community Hub.
Facilitated by artists Jo Hodges and Robbie Coleman, the workshops will encourage people of all ages to get creative in the open air while using nature-inspired processes.
Running until Wednesday, August 16 the short workshops will include cyanotype printing, natural weaving and bee hotel making.
Each workshop is free to attend and suitable for all ages, but people should register in advance by texting or WhatsApp Jo Hodges on 07905 866801.
There will also be a number of drop-in workshops for where no registration is required.
The free workshops are part of Combine to Create programme run by Findhorn Bay Arts. Combine to Create is a new and collaborative programme of creative activities in Moray supported by Creative Scotland through the Culture Collective Fund.
Jo and Robbie said: “We’re delighted to be working in collaboration with the fantastic volunteers at the Hub who are developing their garden as a wellbeing space that’s open to all.
"We’ve developed a programme of nature inspired creative activities over the summer and we look forward to working with both families and adults during our time in the garden.”
Gordon McDonald, chairman of Buckie Community Hub, commented: “We were considering opening up a wellbeing garden at the rear of the Hub when we were approached by Jo and Robbie about doing exactly that and we have worked together on the concept.
"We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to reaping the benefits for the community.”

Building on previous work and reflecting on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, Combine to Create will test and inspire new ways of working within and between creative practitioners and communities of identity and place through residencies that make creative things happen.
