Art and Language' Workshop Open to Members of Sample-Studios, Engage Art Studios and A4 Sounds as part of 'Cahoots 2020: The Space Between'
August 26th and September 11th
Art and Language Workshop:
The first of the 'Cahoots' workshops 'Art and Language' was led by artist Nicola Anthony. This workshop enabled members to explore and navigate the many ways in which language, literature, words and voices can form part of artistic research, conceptualisation, or even become part of finished pieces. We explored how artistic practice can be informed by language, storytelling, and narratives, and develop your understanding and interpretation of linguistics and other signifiers in your work. Nicola shared insights from her own practice and facilitated discussion and practical exercises around the subject of language and art.

Cassandra Eustace, Drawing Workshop: February 1st 2020
€45 - Book your place HERE
Saturday 1st February 2020 ::
Cassandra Eustace
Expressive Drawing Workshop:
Spring (Imbolc)
10:30 - 13:30
The Lord Mayor's Pavilion, Fitzgerald's Park, Mardyke Walk, Cork T12 AW6R
Cassandra Eustace will be facilitating the workshop using creative drawing methods that anyone can do and she will guide you through creating your own intentions to inspire you for the year ahead. Creative drawing is a way of self-expression that depends on nonverbal language to connect us to the essence of how we interpret the world around us or inside us. In the spirit of creative reinvention participants will explore the idea of intentions rather than resolutions for the future. Cassandra’s approach to drawing encourages participants to drop the judgement on what their drawings should look like, to slow down and get involved by naturally focusing and dropping into ‘now time’, not the future or the past.
This is drawing creatively with no ‘how tos’ or ‘what to dos?’, ‘what ifs’ or ‘when tos.’
All materials and refreshments are included.
