Angus Grant
A chance to make your Christmas presents!
The trees are starting to turn yellow so it must be time to start thinking about Christmas, right?
And that means presents, so this new workshop could be very timely for some members.
Our lovely tutor, Angus Grant, will be leading a day of jewellery-making in the Inverallan Chuch Hall in Grantown next month.
He will take you through a range of basic techniques and you will use semi-precious stones to make three pairs of earrings and a bracelet.
This is our first workshop in association with the Cairngorms Learning Partnership so it would be great if we can get a good turnout. Please pass this information to anyone you think would be interested.
The price for SAG members and associates is £45, while for non-members, it is £55. Materials and tools are included – all you need to bring (according to Angus) is your lunch and plenty of enthusiasm.
You can see the course description and book your place here.
Beyond Reasonable Trout
The art shows involving Spey Art Group members continue this week, with the start of our tutor Angus’s exhibition.
We all know that he loves fishing and Beyond Reasonable Trout features a range of landscapes with a fishy theme. His work is previewed on his website.
The show opens on Saturday at Grantown Museum and the launch is at night from 6-9pm. All are welcome to join Angus for a glass of wine and nibbles.
The exhibition is on every day (including Sundays) until July 10.
And of course there is still time to catch our favourite Dolly Allsorts, whose exhibition is still on until Thursday June 30.

And the third, which is also taught by Dan, is a life drawing class at the Iona Gallery. You’ll learn how to draw the human form, including lessons on composition and proportion. Get more information on the course by clicking here.
They’re being organised through the Cairngorms Learning Partnership. Even if you don’t fancy these ones, the CLP has a range of crafty workshops, all taught by local experts. Even our very own tutor, Angus Grant, is taking part. He’s teaching a felt-making workshop on March 19.
