Youth Ecology Art:
Spring Course

Ceramics: Green Plaque Making, Exploring Irish Habitats with artist Mollie Anna King

Tuesday 26th March, Wednesday 27th March and Thursday 28th March

11.00am - 3.30pm

A three-day course in sketching, ceramics and design, exploring Irish animals and their habitats.

This workshop will show you step by step how to create your own designs, taking inspiration from the native animals of Ireland and the habitats they call home. We will make a collaborative artwork inspired by the commemorative plaques found on buildings throughout Ireland. These plaques commemorate significant locations, events, buildings and people. We will use this idea to make green plaques which draw attention to our native species, exploring how we can celebrate and support these animals to thrive.

By the end of the three days, you will have designed your green plaque from concept to completion using your drawing and ceramic skills and will have a unique ceramic artwork to take home.
