This is an opportunity to put together all your information acquired on the Iceland Adventure trip, with Nicky’s guidance and suggestions.

The owner of the studio, painter Pat Law, has visited Iceland many times and will be willing to let us see some of her photographs and work from Iceland as a starting point. Heriot Toun is a fantastic purpose built studio space in the Scottish Borders, south of Edinburgh with its own geothermal heating, inspired by Iceland.

Over two days we will discuss and work on developing your sketches and photographs to a stage where you can begin to make finished work. We will examine the idea of a theme running through your work and reassess the impact that the Icelandic experience had on each individual’s creative process.

This is a non residential weekend.
