Join exhibiting artist and storyteller Claire Hewitt as she guides participants through how to make their own felted story pouch and connect with their wilder selves.
Claire Hewitt is a professional storyteller and artist living in Highland Perthshire. For forty years she has been involved in gathering and inspiring local communities’ connection to their natural environment, and to one another, through the arts. For the last 20 years this has been through the carrying stream of the oral tradition, rooted in the landscape of Perthshire. She comments:
“My own artistic practice as a Storyteller has been enriched, nourished and supported manifold by this incredibly diverse community, human and wild, which stretches itself along the River Tay.”
Her practice over the years has developed from a Fine Artist & Community Artist, training as an Art Therapist, to working as a freelance Storyteller in Scotland and overseas in Africa, Japan, Finland, France, Norway, Estonia, Eastern Europe, Dubai, and India. Claire has been involved in projects with Historic Scotland; Pamis Sensory Storytelling Resources; RSGS; Plant-life Scotland; Scottish Poetry Library and Storytelling Centre; Scottish Forestry Commission and many Community based Storytelling projects, keeping the Oral tradition a living tradition; ‘Eye to eye, mind to mind and heart to heart.’

Birnam Arts is at the heart of community life here.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
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!
This is a lovely light and welcoming building with a cafe and library during the day and some really excellent concerts and shows of all genres mostly in the evening. It's an intimate space but with capacity for several hundred people and tends to be competitively priced. It relies on volunteer support and is an excellent community hub.
