ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
We are delighted to announce a hands-on workshop with artist David Begley, part of the Killruddery Botanical, Garden, & Traditional Skills Workshop Series.
David will teach us how to make our own natural pigment from Oak Gall, before leading us in a Drawing and Painting workshop, we will hopefully make the most of the gardens - or in the Orangery (weather depending) David will guide participants in using these pigments in observing and capturing Killruddery's Gardens in all its Summer vibrancy using the Oak Gall Ink you have just created!
Hosted in Killruddery Cut Flowers Workshop; all materials for this workshop are provided and this day promises bounty in plenty as everyone will leave with their own drawings and painting, and the learned skill of Oak Gall ink making. Guests will be nourished with warm drinks and a long table lunch in the Grain Store cooked by our Head Chef Niall O'Sullivan.
