Returning to live in Ireland after a thirty year career as an artist working in USA and Scotland, Adrienne Diamond (McStay) will lead a two day practical, beginners, wood carving course. Adrienne’s artistic interest has been ‘light and movement’ and throughout her career she has created both public and private artworks along this theme using the materials glass, metal and wood. The course will be based in the Trinity College Botanic Gardens at Dartry, Dublin 6 (nearest Luas Station, Milltown) on 10th and 11th September 2014.
This is a two day beginners class, however all abilities will be catered for, as each participant will receive individual tuition. The course will start at 10.30 am and end at 4.00 pm on both days and will cost €100 for the two days. Tea and coffee will be provided (but not lunch), and essential materials and tools will be supplied. Students can, if they wish, bring a pair of light work gloves and a work apron. In the spirit of the sculptor Henry Moore the carving class will take place in the greenhouses, a source of stimulation, inspiration and observation. The goal of the class is to gain knowledge and experience of wood carving techniques and an understanding of the sculptural process.
