We are delighted to collaborate and showcase another local artist, the wonderfully talented Linda Richardson of Voe, Shetland. As part of our original FREE eco-gifts for each child passenger on our Noss Boat tours through 2024, each child will be given one of Linda's original eco-craft paper masks, of either PUFFIN of SEAL, ready to colour and wear! These are carefully made and perfect for young children, so that they can continue to be inspired by the rich marine life around Shetland waters, even after their tour with us has come to an end. We have seen (first hand experience with our own young daughter!) these masks being enthusiastically coloured in and enjoyed by many children at craft fairs and events in the past and are excited to be given the opportunity to purchase them and share them with our onboard guests this year, knowing they will be a big hit! Linda is a popular, very active local artist and printmaker, producing original works of art. She draws, paints and makes limited edition relief prints and etchings of wildlife. Birds, animals, flowers, coastline and landscape are all subject matter from the beautiful Shetland Islands which inspire her work. Previously a part time tutor in adult education, Linda now teach various workshops here in Shetland. As a member of Shetland Arts & Crafts Association Linda's studio is open on weekends during the summer as part of the Shetland Art & Craft Trail. Ninian, the Bonhoga Gallery and Hoswick Visitors Centre all stock Linda's artwork, both original prints and cards. Linda is a keen birdwatcher, gardener and all-round nature lover, moving to Shetland from Little Bardfield, a small village in North West Essex in October 2016. Her home is in Voe, on the hillside overlooking Olnafirth.  There is an abundance of wildlife
