A quiet creative space near Loch Earn, open to guests staying at Wester Auchraw Croft. Step inside to draw, make, reflect and follow what wants to emerge.

Collage, clay, simple wood carving and hands-on making offer a gentle way in, especially for those who may not think of themselves as creative. There is no pressure to produce anything polished. The process is intuitive, welcoming and quietly restorative, giving thoughts and feelings a chance to find their own form.

Sometimes the hands know what the mind has not yet found words for.

Open Studio (Self -Led)
A quiet space to make in your own time

The Indigo Shed is open to guests staying at the croft.

Come and go quietly during your stay. Sit with a sketchbook, try a little watercolour, make a simple collage or spend time drawing without any particular plan.

Pencils, paper, sketchbooks, watercolours and a small selection of simple materials are available.

Included with your stay

Clay Beads & Talisman Making. (self-Led)
Make something small and meaningful by hand

Create a collection of clay beads for a bracelet, necklace, amulet or key ring.

Imprint textures gathered from the land, explore simple shapes and allow the process to unfold at its own pace. Your beads are carefully finished and baked, ready to collect or sent on to you after your stay.

This is a gentle, unhurried session suitable for complete beginners.

Intuitive Collage
Let the images speak

Begin with a question held lightly.

Choose, tear and arrange images without overthinking. Allow colour, pattern and symbolism to find their own relationship on the page.

Inspired by transpersonal practice, this is a quiet conversation with the unconscious. Gentle guidance is offered where needed, with space to work independently. All materials and a considered worksheet are provided.

Approximately 90 minutes

Make Your Own Medicine Bag
A small vessel for things gathered along the way

Gather and make your own Medicine Bag

Make a simple leather or soft suede medicine bag by hand, using traditional stitching and natural materials.

Once it is finished, take it into the landscape. Walk slowly and begin to notice what calls to you: a stone, a feather or a small fragment half-hidden along the path.

Over time, the bag becomes a quiet record of where you have been and what you have felt.
