As @nairnfest draws to a close, a big thank you to all who came along to support our cast recording of "The Biggest Sandcastle in the World" last night. For those who missed the live show it will be streamed on our website as part of After The Festival.

Still buzzing after seeing/hearing the legendary @irvine.welsh for yesterday’s closing event of @nairnfest. 🤯 Insights into literary process, DMT, Danny Boyle and spirituality! What we take away: "Resolution is what happens when you run out of excuses".

Had a great time Nairn Festival over the weekend, I was running 'Monster Mapping' workshops. Have to say my heart leapt when I saw this four pencil manoeuvre, I'd forgotton all about this cracker of a technique #longlivepencilpower
