Practice speaking Irish in a relaxed art filled workshop.

This workshop focuses on some fun ways to use watercolour. Through Irish we will learn some simple techniques which can be used to make an abstract piece or paint some simple flowers.

This adult event is aimed at learners of Irish at all levels. Through some fun facilitated art activities as well as some free speaking time all participants are encouraged to learn and share Irish together. Most importantly the focus of the workshop is speaking practice. Helpful conversation phrases will be on the tables.

No art background necessary.
All materials provided.

To join in the Artist Trading Cards fun in Dalkey Library you can create any number of artworks, at home, on 6.3cm x 8.9cm sized card relating to the theme "Windows".

You can then start to build your own collection of cards by bringing the cards you created to the meet up and swap them with other members of the group at a social event.

The theme for July is "Windows" and at this meeting we will select the theme for the following month.
