We will consider some of the environmental themes of the concert, how they might sound and how that might make us feel. What to Expect: We'll meet in the Pathfoot Building at 3:30pm. Tea and coffee will be provided. We'll spend a relaxing afternoon listening to sound and playing with mark-making through a series of guided exercises. After the workshop, you're very welcome to stay for a performance of On A Wing and A Prayer by Nordic Viola and Pete and Joe Stollery in the Pathfoot Crush Hall. During the concert itself, we will have the option of contuinuing our mark-making as the music is performed, expressing our emotions through images. What to bring: All materials that you will need will be provided, but if you have your own sketchbook or materials, you are very welcome to bring those too! About Orla Stevens Orla Stevens is a Scottish artist and illustrator, based in Callander. Her work looks to connect people to nature and landscape, inspired by the importance of play, exploration and positivity that both the creation process and being in the outdoors share. Orla’s work combines influences from screen printed textiles and folk art with her adventures outside. A firm believer in the importance of accessibility across art and access to the outdoors, Orla hopes her work encourages more ways of noticing, celebrating and protecting our natural spaces. Through painting, Orla explores her own connections to places, mapping her memories and multi-sensory experiences. Sounds, visuals and emotions are represented through colours, marks, textures and shapes to capture a sense of place. Collaborating across a wide range of applications, Orla loves working in multidisciplinary ways; across public artwork, screen printed textiles, album artwork, murals and beyond. Orla holds a BA (hons) from Edinburgh College of Art in Printed Textiles. Work is held in public and private collections across Europe, Australia and Canada. www.orlastevens.com About the day: On a Wing and A Prayer: Reflections on Our Changing Habitats This workshop is part of an exciting day of workshops and performances exploring the intersection of creativity and environment.

Join us in the Pathfoot Building, University of Stirling for a performance of Nordic Viola's brand-new album with Pete and Joe Stollery, On A Wing and A Prayer - Reflections on Deeside's Changing Habitat. There will be an opportunity to meet with the musicians and ask questions about the project after the performance. Katherine Wren (viola) and Pete Stollery (electronics) perform their new album, released on 6th February, in collaboration with composer Joe Stollery. Set in Glen Quoich in the Cairngorm Mountains, the music reflects on the River Dee, its woodlands and its wildlife, as it progresses from the still, frozen landscape experienced by the musicians in January 2024 to the violent floods of the Muckle Spates of 1829 and 2015. The programme also includes music by Scottish-Icelander Charles Ross and Deeside fiddler, Paul Anderson. Audience members are welcome to stay for a short discussion with the musicians after the performance and the chance to buy the album.
