Explore rocks from both creative and scientific points of view with the guidance of science artist Vojta Hýbl of Rocks on Paper.
Start your experience by touring the Earth Systems collections at National Museums Collection Centre, guided by knowledgeable Natural Sciences curators. You will learn all about the history, diversity, and importance of geology in Scotland while viewing various geological specimens which you can use as inspiration. Vojta will then take you through the basics of doing your own illustration of a rock specimen and show you how to identify it based on careful observations of its features. No art experience is necessary.
