Aister Studio
Walking around Shetland drawing, photographing, and sound recording has provided me with the inspiration for all my present art work. With the aim of capturing the magic and character of Shetland’s landscape, natural and cultural heritage, my work translates into free-machine embroidered maps, lino prints and botanical drawing/painting.
I offer a selection of group workshops including full and half-day options. Each workshop requires a minimum of 4 people and prices start from £280 and discounts are available to Shetland Stays customers.
