The North Mayo Heritage Centre
This plein-air workshop will explore familiar and current contemporary approaches to drawing outside. Using a variety of media and processes, drawing is a way to experience your surroundings that is immediate and personal. Specializing in analytical drawing and sensory drawing techniques, artists /educators Cassandra and Meg Eustace will lead you in an immersive day of drawing in the beautiful gardens of The North Mayo Heritage Centre at Enniscoe, including a conversation with the gardener. The Eustace twins are the founders of The Drawing Clinic which operates to create a creative and critical space for drawers of all levels to talk about their drawing.
