Outreach Residency Project

The Golspie and Skerray residencies ended in December. Both were very successful. Both impacted on the two communities in a positive and dynamic way. Both worked with local school children, Secondary and Primary and with the wider community.

Nigel Mullen

Resident in Golspie, Nigel used mapping and the old place names as the basis for his work in Golspie. Nigel is currently working on a piece of sculpture based on his time at Golspie.

Gemma Petrie

Gemma in Skerray used the Natural Heritage of the area and in particular mosses, lichens and fungi for her sources. Gemma had her studio in Tigh Hughag, a renovated original croft house in the centre of the community. People were able to drop in at any time to see her working and her work. Local residents and artists enjoyed this and found it very rewarding.
