OURS EXPO/ BIG DRAW 2008
Spell bound, the young artists take a well eraned rest from the big draw to watch the video work by youngsters in Kinlochberive, Achfary, Drumbeg and Lairg.
Callum from Kinlochbervie came all the way to see the exhibition of work that he and his freinds made during the summer, he even got stuck in and joined out Big supernatural Draw!

archaECOlogy
On Saturday 4 October, a group of creative young people met in Borgie forest for a fascinating day of activities in the forest’s monumental log cabins. The group were met by roaring log fires and a wealth of talented activity leaders:
Henry Fosbrooke – Woodland Crafts and Arts
Arthur Dent – Tin smith
Elliot Rudie –historian/artist
After an engrossing introduction from Elliot Rudie on the environmentally friendly methods of house building that our ancestors employed, we were then given demonstrations by Henry and Arthur.
Inspired by Henry and Arthur’s use of material and green approach to craft, we set about collecting materials from the surrounding area. As you will see from the pictures below, the group had a fantastic time, turning wood, beating baked bean cans into symbols and constructing an enormous xylophone, which now lives in Joe’s back garden!
A great time was had by all!
