We invite you to join us for the very first Ferlie Seasons gathering. We'll spend a couple of hours exploring the season through a creative printing workshop inspired by the natural world in November, with seasonal bakes, gathered teas and a few stories from the landscape along the way. Seasons is about stepping out of the usual rush for a couple of hours, a chance to gather with good company, to make something, try something new, enjoy good food and conversation, and spend a little time noticing the season around us. For our first evening, Welcoming Winter we'll explore the transition into the darker months through making, seasonal stories and a few of the things that make this time of year special. Your evening includes: A seasonal creative activity For November's edition of Seasons, we will spend time designing and using simple printing techniques to create our own seasonal wrapping paper and cards inspired by the natural world around us. All materials are provided. No previous experience or particular creative ability needed, just come along and have a go. A little seasonal knowledge We'll share some stories, traditions and observations connected to the turning of the year, with a particular focus on Scotland and the landscape around us. Seasonal tea & homemade treats Enjoy a selection of gathered herb teas and homemade seasonal bakes, including foraged ingredients particularly linked with this time of year. A beautiful, cosy setting We'll gather around one long communal table, surrounded by seasonal foliage and the simple details that make an evening feel special. Something to take home You'll leave with something you've made and a small seasonal token from Ferlie to continue the experience at home. Two hours to yourself Perhaps most importantly, this is time away from the usual to-do list. No pressure to be sociable, no expectation to be “good” at making things, just a couple of hours to slow down, try something different and enjoy. No experience necessary You don't need to be “crafty” or know anything about foraging. Everything will be explained and all materials are included. Come on your own or bring a friend. You'll be welcomed either way.

He speaks fondly with pride about Claudia’s love for her craft “I knew music would find her, she got bitten by the music bug at a very young age. I’m so happy that the public have taken to her wonderful personality, and she has the talent to match, I could not be more proud if I tried.” Claudia has dueted with and toured the UK extensively with Nathan Carter and after a sell out solo tour in 2025 including two nights in the prestigious Eden Court in Inverness, she is currently planning to bring her brand new tour back to Scotland in Autumn 2026. Claudia has featured on various television shows in Ireland including Ireland longest running and highest viewership ‘The Late Late show’ and notably being one of the special guests on Daniel O’Donnells Opry le Daniel show.
