Highland Print Studio Re-Launches WISE GUYS Project for Men Aged 60+ with No Previous Arts Experience.

Highland Print Studio is excited to announce the re-launch of their popular initiative WISE GUYS, a creative project supported by Highland Council Inverness Central Ward Discretionary Fund, designed specifically for men aged 60 and above. This unique initiative invites participants with no previous arts experience to explore the world of printmaking in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Through a series of hands-on workshops/classes, WISE GUYS offers participants the opportunity to engage in creative expression, develop new skills, and connect with others in their community. The project seeks to break down barriers to creativity and foster a sense of achievement, confidence, and connection through creativity and printmaking.

The programme’s goal is to provide a space where men can learn the fundamentals of printmaking, guided by experienced tutors and support staff at Highland Print Studio, Inverness’ only printmaking facility and a leading creative hub in the area. Whether it’s creating simple yet striking prints or exploring more complex techniques, WISE GUYS promises a rewarding journey into the world of printmaking for all participants, regardless of their background. 

WISE GUYS is more than just an art project—it’s a chance for men to discover new passions, enhance their well-being, and create lasting memories and friendships in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The programme is open to men in the Inverness Central area, with no artistic experience required—just a willingness to try something new.

We are hoping to begin this years WISE GUYS project in January 2025, once all 12 places are filled. If you or someone you may know would like to take part and fit the criteria then please do get in touch.
