Artist Chris Goodman (assyntwood)

An innovative project sculpting art from the Beauly Elm, an iconic 800 year old Elm Tree which stood at Beauly Priory until its fall in 2023.

This has been carved into five sculpture pieces which tell a narrative about our place in nature, our impact on the rest of nature and where we go from here.

These are presented alongside a presentation that examines the themes of restoring natural processes and living as part of nature.

Come along to Dundreggan to carve your very own spoon with our experienced wood carver, Chris Goodman. This is a great all round introduction to the principles, tools and techniques of green wood working as well as an opportunity to hone your skills and go deeper. The course will involve axing out the rough spoon shape and then refining it with different knives. An immersive experience with the opportunity to explore what wood is as well as how to carve it. Take away your own spoon at the end of the day to use and admire.

Songs for the Wild World is a concert built around their greenest imaginings: bird songs, forest songs, water songs. Furies, dreams and future histories.

Ruby Warblers play thoughtful original songs that swing and pulse with a fiery string band energy.  Jenny Q brings her cello, beats, harmonies, and Arab influence to the mix. The result is both eclectic and electric. 

This great introduction to carving with Chris Goodman involves learning different techniques using a carving knife to make your very own wand. Carve a hollow spiral handle, add fine details then cast your own spells!

Unlock your creativity with a fun wand-carving workshop!
