Ballyeamon art weekend 2023 (now fully booked, but I have a waiting list)

7th to 11th September at Ballyeamon tourist Hostel, nr Cushendall

---

£370 residential or £240 non residential with lunch and dinner (£70 deposit to Katherine to secure your place, please pay below or email ksoutarillustrator@gmail.com for details)

Included:

Full board and bunkhouse accommodation at the barn. (All meals, tea, coffee, snacks)

16+ hours of art workshop tuition with all materials and guidance needed with Katherine, creating mixed media and print work that reflects your experience of this beautiful place, or your personal response to the media we use.

There are only 4 places on this art holiday in order to enable me to give everyone plenty of space, and the best advice and tuition I can offer.

You will be staying in the Antrim coast and glens area of outstanding natural beauty just a mile away from the wonderful Glenariff forest park.

Afternoons we can be free to explore the local landscape or just chill out around the barn red squirrel spotting…

Depending on what people’s interests are, transport can be arranged to visit the coast and local towns.

There is also a traditional storytellling and song session at the barn on Saturday evenings led by the incomparable Liz Weir, our host at the barn and one of Irelands finest storytellers

What previous art weekenders have to say…

‘This was everything I had hoped for and more’

Denise

‘Thank you for the most fantastic long weekend. A truly stunning location, wonderful company, brilliantly fun art projects, materials and tuition (no matter what level you’re at) and such an utterly relaxing experience from start to finish. Not to mention the hospitality of our amazing hosts, beautiful home-cooked food and cakes baked fresh every day.

I’ll be booking again next year!’

Katy.

‘An Art Weekend to be remembered for good company and new friends. A chance to ‘play’ with paper, colour, inks and gels. A place to try new techniques l had not dreamed of and to come away with a folder of work.

And all of this with a teacher who inspires, a Barn hostess who welcomes, a chef with a lightness of scones and in such a beautiful setting.’

Suzie

Not included:

Flights to Belfast international (approx 45 mins away from the barn)

Transfers (but I am hoping I can arrange something for this too, so we will all get there fresh and happy. Watch this space!)
