About the Course:

You'll learn how everyone has the capability to create great artwork, no matter what their previous experience. And the outdoors is the perfect place to find inspiration. Art is a great way to reflect and respond to the environment.

A supportive atmosphere with qualified artists allows everyone to explore their creativity and share freely without judgement. As well as an opportunity to form deeper bonds with others, art is known for increasing mental health and wellbeing, and often brings a sense of relaxation.

The activity can be delivered to groups, families or 1 to 1. We also have a qualified art therapist who joins our team to help get the most out of these sessions.

FAQs

The questions we hear most often from people before they arrive

Do I need experience?+

Some summer hillwalking experience helps but is not essential. We teach everything from the ground up. You need a reasonable level of fitness and a willingness to learn.

What should I bring?+

Bring warm layers, waterproofs, sturdy boots, and a good head torch. We provide all technical equipment including ice axes and crampons.

Is it safe?+

The mountains carry risk. We manage it with experienced instructors, small groups, and careful planning. You will learn to assess risk for yourself.

What if the weather is bad?+

Bad weather is part of winter mountaineering. We adapt the route to the conditions. If it is too dangerous, we stay low and practise skills.

How fit do I need to be?+

You should be comfortable walking for six to eight hours with a pack. The fitter you are, the more you will enjoy the course.
