Understanding Moths Creative Workshop

Part of who will be remembered here

7 March 2026

Understanding Moths Creative Workshop with Jan Hendry

 

Explore the wonderful world of moths in this unique workshop! Led by artist and moth lover Jan Hendry, learn about local moths, then create colourful origami “flexagons”—a special folded craft that illustrates a moth’s life cycle. A perfect blend of ecology and creativity, suitable for anyone aged 8+ (All children must be accompanied by an adult, and all participants require their own ticket).

Originally studying geography at university, Jan worked as a countryside ranger in Fife for many years, where she raised her family. She later fulfilled a long-held ambition to attend art college, studying Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design. Since 2003, she has worked as a practising artist alongside a range of part-time roles, including contracts with countryside and heritage organisations. For many years, Jan has aspired to develop a project that brings together her passion for visual research and ecology, creating meaningful ways to share this work. This project is the realisation of that ambition.

 FRAGILE: Moths, Life Systems and Us is an art and ecology project funded by the Scottish Government through Creative Scotland.

My alternative office, my morning cup of coffee, the place where we run our workshops, meet friends, come to concerts ... Without Birnam Arts our community would lose a bit of its soul.
