Creative Weekend in Applecross – March 28th-30th, 2025
A Relaxed, Fun Experience to Learn Screen Printing with Friends!

Escape to the stunning Applecross Peninsula for a weekend of creativity, relaxation, and fun! Whether you’re looking to unwind with friends or meet new people, this creative retreat is the perfect blend of hands-on screen printing, scenic surroundings, and delicious food.

What’s included:

• Transportation from Strathcarron for the 3:30pm Friday train and then to the 4:00pm Sunday train (if needed).
• Accommodation at the cozy Clachan Manse B&B. Stay in a charming annex, sharing a twin room with a fellow workshop participant. It’s even more fun if you book with friends, but solo travellers are also welcome! If booking solo, sharing may be required, or feel free to inquire about a private room.
