Creative Walk: A Full Day Tour of Local Orkney Beach

This tour gives the opportunity to walk on some of the more remote beaches of Orkney, getting away from the popular spots where few people go and Beachcombing as we go, who knows what we will find, a Groatie Buckie (locals call a Lucky shell) or a message in a bottle or some old fishing rope. It's a good chance to slow down and enjoy the coast at its best, walking speed. Later in our studio we rouse the creative side and put together something from our finds, creating a unique keepsake and reminder of Orkney. My shoreline treasure is old fishing rope (ghost fishing gear) turning it into something new such as a doormat or a simple rope ring (Quoit) or even a Dream catcher. Each tour will be different, it will be customized not only by the tide times but recent weather will send us to a beach that may have some new gems, your own interest and likes will also help to fine tune what and where we go.

Meet at a pre-arranged time and place ie Hotel or Quay where your ship has docked. - Drive to a suitable location taking into consideration local tide and weather conditions - After a couple of hours stop for a bite to eat - Then drive to the workshop to make something from our finds Having created something unique you will be returned to your ship or hotel or somewhere that suits you better.
