Learn

Join us to pick up new skills and get creative – with learning opportunities for all interests, ages and experiences.

We offer a range of workshops and education courses, from informal life drawing sessions, bairns drama classes, traditional music intensives to accredited Creative Industry courses, delivered in partnership with UHI Shetland.

Educational courses

UHI Shetland, in partnership with Shetland Arts, offer a range of music, audio and film courses, from part time courses for school pupils through to BA (Hons) degrees. Our creative courses are built around hands-on, practical learning using professional equipment with highly experienced tutors.

“The variety of courses are perfect for anyone looking to develop their skills in the film, music and wider Creative Industries, to progress to further studies, or simply to find out more about a subject that interests them.” – Professor Catriona Macdonald, Shetland Arts’ Director of Creativity and Impact

We’re always delighted to speak to anyone who is interested in finding out more about the courses, so please do get in touch.
