Lotte’s Residency
For this project the children from four local primary schools in Mackay Country - Durness, Tongue, Bettyhill and Melvich - with teachers and helpers were invited to visit the workshop and create a tile depicting a vision from Highland history. The teachers discussed the project with the children and visited Strathnaver Museum to gain inspiration. The finished tiles will form a permanent display at The Museum with each school receiving a poster picture of the children’s work. The children were also given a lump of clay to fashion a sculpture of their imagination.
