Creative Well Workshops in Naas
Starting Tuesday 25 September, workshops will run once a week and are delivered by professional trained artists in a supportive and non-pressurised environment. We aim to make the workshops a relaxed place to be where you will find friendly faces, art materials and a cuppa. This programme will introduce drawing, painting, printmaking, clay work and three dimensional studies.
Participation is free of charge but by application. The closing date for applications is Wednesday 29 August 2012. If you are interested you can download an application form from www.kildare.ie/artsservice or email: catherine.ogrady@hse.ie or Tel: 087 056 6784.
