Our workshop series brings together leading practicing artists and experienced tutors across a range of artistic mediums. Workshops are available for professional and non-professional artists, and non-artists interested in the arts and learning new skills in a gorgeous environment.
We also have a programme of artists in residence and exhibitions. All Lochmara visitors can talk with resident artists and exhibitions are free.
Details of Autumn workshops will be available soon.
