Forest Bathing and Pottery Workshop

Experience the wonder of Anagach Woods and reconnect with your creative side in this unique workshop

This is a fantastic chance to try out two new skills – the ancient Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku (or forest bathing) and ceramics.

First, you will join Cath Wright from Highland Quietlife for forest bathing in Grantown’s community-owned woodland. While the walk will be leisurely and there will be stops along the way, participants should be prepared to walk on uneven ground.

Then, at the Spey Bank Studio, you will use handsculpt a pinch pot, led by our lead tutor, Angus Grant. You will also use found objects from the forest to add textures to the clay.

Your creation will be glazed and fired by Angus in the studio kiln and returned to you.
