Immersed in this unique environment, delve into the real unseen.
This is a painting workshop focused, not on a particular technique, but on exploring the world of abstraction. Ballycastle & 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!
The week will be comprised of working trips out into the extraordinary coastal areas, copious time in studio, communal dinners and morning group meetings where daily assistance will be given in technique and content. The resulting work can take any form; painting on paper, notebook work, drawing and basic mono printing will be encouraged as starting points.
This Workshop takes place from the 1st - 9th of June 2023. The cost is $2,000 which includes tuition, shared cottage with private bedroom for 8 nights, lunch/dinner/dessert/tea/coffee, collection/delivery to the bus/train stations in Ballina, full use of the Ballinglen Library & facilities 24/7. Participants arrive on the 1st and depart on the 9th (The workshop is for 7 days 2nd - 8th). Please contact Una Forde on unaforde.baf@gmail.com for availability and booking form.
