Creative workshops with Anna Kelso

Anna Kelso is an artist and designer who creates conceptual illustrations with a sharp, graphic yet feminine style. She draws inspiration from music, literature, religious iconography, the psyche and weird nature. With commissions from industries as diverse as music, hospitality, performing arts as well as many private commissions she has developed a successful client-illustrator dialogue. Her work has been described as “treading the line between beautiful and unsettling in the most delicious way” (Lynne Campbell, client). At first glance, Anna’s illustrations are accessible, yet they invite the viewer to give them, and the content they support, deeper thought.

This project is about offering affordable access to the arts and providing opportunity to try high-quality and specialist artistic approaches from professional artists.

These sessions are appropriate for children from P1 to P7 i.e. kids who have just completed Primary 1, up to those going into Primary 7.

The actual cost per session is much higher than the given costs as we feel it is important to pay tutors according to Scottish Artist Union rates and provide access to quality materials and experiences. To ensure our holiday sessions are affordable during the school holidays, Birnam Arts subsidises this with further support from Creative Scotland.

We are offering the sessions on a Sliding Scale framework. Please be honest and pay what you can afford.

£8 | I have some disposable income

My alternative office, my morning cup of coffee, the place where we run our workshops, meet friends, come to concerts ... Without Birnam Arts our community would lose a bit of its soul.
