This is a painting workshop focused, not on a particular technique, but on exploring the world of abstraction.
Immersed in this unique environment, delve into the real unseen.
Ballycastle and the surrounding rural area is steeped in history, mythology and natural wonder. An immersed experience of it all enriches creativity. Abstraction, as a form, allows for the expression of a myriad of situations and energies. To step into this unknown territory we will gather sensory information, loosen up the hand and get inspiration flowing.
The requirements are curiosity and openness to experimentation. It is especially useful for those in transition, those facing a creative block, anyone who would like to expand horizons or those, like me, truly passionate about abstraction!
Daily assistance will be given in the execution of work in the form of morning group sessions. The aim of the weekend immersion is to create a situation in which you gather precious internal resources, prompted by the working and outside environment, and possibly unearth the impetus for a lifetime of work.
There will be an emphasis on collection of information, flights of fancy, profound realisation. The resulting work can take any form; painting on paper, notebook work and drawing will be encouraged as starting points.
The weekend will be comprised of morning meetings, walks, time to work in studio and communal dinners.
Registration:
- €350 includes
- workshop tuition and shared studio space from Friday 2nd at noon to Sunday evening 4th October.
- private room from 2nd October to the morning of the 5th October 2020 in fully equipped self-catering traditional cottage with a view of the sea on the edge of Ballycastle village.
- lunch/dinner/dessert/tea/coffee,
-transportation to and from nearest bus or train station. (Ballina, a shopping town with a population of about 9,500 is about a half hour from Ballycastle, a village of 350).
- A limit of five artists will ensure that we can maintain social distance within the working, living and dining spaces.
