We’re marking National Drawing Day with something a little special.
On May 16th, we’re turning our beautiful front courtyard into an outdoor art studio for an untutored session featuring a costumed model. Set beneath our canopy, this unique outdoor event combines creativity, atmosphere, and community spirit right in the heart of Enniskerry.
This event is open to artists of all levels and is the perfect chance to slow down, sketch, and celebrate National Drawing Day.
What To Expect:
A costumed model..
A relaxed, untutored format. Draw at your own pace, no pressure.
A beautiful open-air setting, rain or shine, under our brand new canopy.
A chance to connect with fellow artists and celebrate creativity as part of a nationwide day of drawing.
Spaces are limited to keep the session comfortable and focused, so early booking is essential.
Please be aware this is an outdoor event, hopefully we will get some sunshine on the day but please bring some warm clothing just in case!
