Aging Creatively

Alison Price Aging Creatively

20 May 2024

Celebrate your local knowledge and enjoy sharing some creative painting and drawing techniques with artist Alison Price. If you often read about art classes and think "that sounds interesting but I couldn't do that" then this is the one for you!

Alison will gently guide you through ways to transform your knowledge and memories into a work of art that tells a story about your own personal experience of the area.  Think about familiar walks or places you visit regularly, or what about your favourite haunts when you were wee? 

We all have our own names for these places either through local knowledge passed down through families or made up! At the end of the project you will have a piece of work that celebrates your own personal place and leaves a lasting record for others. 

This workshop is suitable for all levels of ability, including absolute beginners.

Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.

Lovely wee cafe with amazing service. Been here 3 times now and always notice how friendly and upbeat the staff are. The coffee and cake is top notch also. Will definitely be back the next time I head to Dunkeld!
