Galentines Art Journal Class

Galentines art journal class

The Galentines art journal class is happening!

What is Galentines? this is the Google definition:

Galentine’s Day is a global holiday that celebrates women’s friendship. Galentine’s Day is typically marked as February 13, but can be observed any day. Galentine’s Day events are typically all-female occasions of mutual “empowerment…a reminder for women to support and uplift one another.”

It’s basically a day of celebrating women, celebrating ourselves.

Whether you are a mum, grandma, wife, carer, retired, working in or outside your home, single, married, it doesn’t matter. We all need to take some time to find and celebrate ourselves.

So on Saturday 15th February I’m holding a day for you to do just that.

How would you like to spend the day making art in a very friendly and easy going space?

We will start the day with coffee and cake. We will make an art journal, complete a mixed media page that is full of layers, textures and meaning.

There will be brunch in the lovely Cafe du Parc and by the end of the day you will have an understanding of art journaling and several new friends.

The date is Saturday 15th February from 10.30 to 4pm.

The venue is The Plaza hotel, Killarney.

Cost = €120

What do you need to bring? Nothing except glasses if you wear them.

Everything you need is provided, I have disposable aprons and gloves so feel free to wear anything that makes you happy.

Come on your own or come with a friend, bring an open heart and mind and I can’t wait to teach you a new hobby.

I look forward to spending the day with you!

The Meraki Art Journal Class

A day of self care through art ~

The word ‘Meraki’ means ‘To do something with soul, creativity or love. To leave the essence of your soul in your work’.

It seems a very fitting title for this class.

We will start the day with a little explanation about what we are doing and what to expect.

Then we will spend the morning making our journals from scratch (don’t worry, it’s easy!) after which it will be time for a short lunch break.

Of course there will be tea and cake!

After lunch we get to the good bit – the first page of art journaling. I have created a page as a guide image for this, you can make something similar or something completely different. Don’t worry if you have no experience, I will help you through each step. Of course, it is also a great class if you are a regular ‘journaler’ (not sure that is a word!) I look forward to seeing what you create 🙂

Remember, It’s art – it simply can’t go wrong!

I will have all the materials for you. Simply bring yourself, your glasses (if you need them) and a willingness to get your hands messy!

This class is suitable for adults only.

I look forward to meeting you!

In Person Classes

In Person Classes are back!!

I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaching three separate classes in Cork.

The lovely Susan Herlihy is hosting a series of art classes at her studio in Midleton.

I have the privilege of starting off her “Crafty Hands Create” programme on Saturday June 17th.

At 10.30 – 1pm I will be teaching the “Whimsical Florals” class.

During this class we will get passed the idea of how things ‘should’ look and create florals from your imagination.

Don’t worry if you are new to painting, I will explain every step. You will learn how to choose your colour palette, and what brushes work best for this style.

At the end of the class you will have a framed painting ready to take home, and hopefully a spark of interest to do more!
