Mindful
Sketching
with Joel Feldman
Every Wednesday from 23rd September
6 Weeks - 7pm to 9pm
€60 for a 6 Week Course
Workshop Overview
Join Joel Feldman for a six-week sketching journey in the serene oratory of Mulranny Arts. This is a gentle, reflective exploration, an opportunity to slow down, share quiet moments, and discover your own unique style on the page, as the evenings settles into a rhythm of soft concentration.
Joel will guide with a light touch, observing the ways you explore your lines and forms, and occasionally introducing objects as inspiration for your work. Rather than formal lessons in drawing technique, this class focuses on your personal relationship with pen, ink and sketchpad.
This class is more about your personal journey with pen and ink on your sketch pad rather than actual instructions of how to draw.
Students often describe the sessions as relaxing and joyful, a peaceful evening where creative thoughts flow freely, and pictures, shapes, and stories gradually take form, and the simple act of drawing becomes its own kind of meditation.
Materials
Please bring your own sketch pad. (Any good Drawing Paper, e.g. Bristol Board Paper Pad or any bound paper pads with good quality drawing paper)
Pen and inks will be provided.
