ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Join us just before the Autumn equinox and learn to create a Botanical Cast with the beautiful botanical artist Erica Devine. You will create your own wall piece, immortalising seasonal blooms from Killruddery Cut Flower beds for years to come. This workshop is a good introduction to working with plaster where you will be shown the techniques Erica uses to create sculptural wall pieces for clients including Jo Malone in Paris and The Powerscourt Hotel. All materials are provided and if you wish to bring some stems from your own garden or surrounding to include you are welcome to bring them along.
Hosted by Fionnuala Brabazon, all materials for this workshop are provided and this day promises bounty in plenty as everyone will leave with their own wall piece, detailed notes and a suppliers list to help you pursue this art-form further, nourishment with warm drinks and a long table lunch in The Grain Store cooked by our Head Chef Niall O'Sullivan.
