In the Field

Field Studio offers classes (both online and on the Isle of Mull) for writers of different levels and backgrounds seeking to hone their craft. We work with, amongst others, academics who would like to integrate more creative elements into their writing, writers who hope to bring nature and research into their creative work, and adults, teens, and children encountering creative writing for the first time. Field Studio provides a place for dreaming the world into language.

Lichen Safari

| Saturday, October 1 | In Person | Ages 13 up

Join us in Croig on the north-west corner of Mull for a lichen safari and creative writing walk with award-winning writers, and naturalist Conor Ryan. We will explore the rare and special lichens that grow along the coast, and use these as a jumping-off point to writing stories, poems, and creative non-fiction. Using the lush realm of the minute, we will access practices of deep looking and wonder between the forest and the sea.

Conor Ryan is an award-winning photographer, naturalist, and wildlife guide. You can find his beautiful photography here: www.conorryan.photography

Ages 13 and up. Please bring a pen, notebook, sturdy shoes and waterproof clothing. Snacks will be provided.
