ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP


Join us for this one day workshop with artist David Begley, develop your own unique approach to this spontaneous, painterly medium, creating monotype prints. We will explore monochrome mark-making exercises, work with wipe-out, direct painting, tonking, and collage techniques in order to make our prints.


We will make the most of the gardens, David will guide participants in observing and capturing Killruddery's Gardens in the end of Summer Days, an inspiration for your prints.


This wonderful day will be rounded off with plenty of warming drinks and a nourishing seasonal meal prepared by Head Chef Niall O'Sullivan and team - using ingredients grown on our Estate. 


To ensure individual attention and support, places on this workshop are strictly limited.
