Catchment workshops

Poet Fiona Russell runs a series of workshops in connection with the Catchment project in which she worked with four visual artists to explore

… the Urr Water in Galloway ...from the uplands

around Loch Urr, through the woodland gorges beyond Corsock and

the fertile grasslands around Haugh of Urr, to the meanders which pass

around the old harbours of Dalbeattie and Palnackie, out to Kippford and

Rockcliffe, fishing villages transformed by visitors and sailing boats, to

the tidal estuary, islands, and the grandeur of the Solway Firth.

Saturday 30 November 1.30 – 4pm Inspiration:
