Joining us today is artist Peter Jones. Peter has had a studio based in Tribe for many years now and works mainly in watercolour.  It was great to speak with Peter today and learn more about him. 

Peter’s interests include buildings and place and has published a series of books that celebrate the built environments of Kirkcudbright, Portobello, Falkland, and most recently Craigmillar & Niddrie.

Through funding from creative scotland, Peter recently collaborated with Craigmillar Art Club to launch a book and an exhibition as part of Art Walk Porty. Facilitating workshops formed a part of this project and workshops have now become a key element of his creative practice, with a series of sketching workshops at the National Museum of Scotland with Bipolar Edinburgh now into its second run. Everyone can draw, and coming together in a group can add to the wellbeing benefits of this mindful activity. 

Peter is a quiet, calm and lovely man and we very much appreciated this conversation. You can find more about Peter and his work on his website and instagram.
