Join artists Elizabeth Cope and Phoebe Cope for an intensive weekend masterclass in drawing and painting, set in the inspiring surroundings of Shankill Castle, Co. Kilkenny.
Each day focuses on sustained studio practice, with close observation of the landscape, gardens, interiors, buildings, and animals. You’ll be supported in developing a focused body of work, along with supporting sketches and studies.
You’re encouraged to bring your own drawing and painting materials. A small selection of basic supplies will be available, and a full materials list can be provided in advance.
Lunch and refreshments are included and will be served by the Coach House Café.
