 Hunting for Lost Crafts
Inverness Museum and Art Gallery
25th June, 2nd July
23rd July, 30th July

Help to co-curate an innovative exhibition that will explore the ancient and historical crafts associated with hunting, shooting and fishing, and their applications today.

In the workshops you will conduct research on objects and historic photographs from the collections here at IMAG, Highland Folk Museum and the Highland Photographic Archive, as well as learning the theory and practise underpinning object handling, artefact research and display and interpretation.

The workshop programme includes a two week research break, during which participants will be given materials from the museums’ archive to explore and work from.
Participants are asked to sign up for all workshops. FREE, but booking is essential, as places are limited.
To book please email Cait McCullagh or tel. 01463 237114
