Meeting at the Creative Hub at Stranraer, Nic Coombey will take you on a walk to find out more about Oysters and why they are so important to Stranraer and the outer Solway. After an adventure in search for Oyster shells we will return to the Creative Hub to create some sculptural Oyster grottos.
Grottos have been around for a long time often magical places in the form of small caves hidden away in the rocks or coves of coastlines. Sometimes these caves were carved into creating decorative mythology inspired features. They can also be man made and became fashionable in gardens in the 16th and 17th century.
Afterwards you will be invited to join artist, Maya Edwards for Oyster sand castle competition on the beach.
This workshop is brought to you by Solway Coast and Marine Project and Creative Stranraer.
Please dress for the weather. Ages 8 – upwards…
SCAMP is an initiative by the D&G Council Environment Team supported by NatureScot in collaboration with the Scottish Government and in partnership with the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
