In association with the Bushy Park commission, Sculpture Dublin is running a series of creative workshops with members of the local community.
The workshops will be facilitated by Conleth Gent, a sculptor with 30-years’ experience. Conleth will guide participants through a step-by-step process of creating a unique carved wood sculpture.
The workshops will take place in Bushy Park, on Saturdays, 12-2pm, starting on 19 February and finishing on 2 April (break on St Patrick’s Day weekend).
Workshop dates: 19th February, 26th February, 5th March, 12th March, 26th March, 2nd April.
If you are interested in taking part, or would like to find out more, please contact julia@sculpturedublin.ie. No previous experience or skill is required.
The workshops are free but places are limited. We ask that participants commit to attending the full six sessions. Open to 18+. All tools and materials will be provided.
