This workshop is part of our Hugh Lane Gallery’s Explore & Learn offsite programmes during the Gallery’s period of temporary closure.

Join artist Aoife Convery for a drop-in life-drawing workshop designed especially for families. Taking place in the wonderful Coolock Library, this session invites families to explore together the exciting world of figurative drawing. Sketching from a clothed live model, families can explore line, movement, and observation techniques in a creative, playful and supportive environment.

Families can join any time between 1.30pm and 2.45pm. This activity is aimed at families with children aged 6+ but all are welcome.

Free, no need to book, just come along. Space is limited.
