National Drawing Day workshop with Patricia Burns

This workshop will be a morning of drawing responding to the expressive nature of Cathy Henderson's work in the exhibition, Thirty-Six Views of the Sugarloaf. Burns invites the group to use graphite and charcoal and attempt to convey the atmosphere and movement found in the natural world, in particular trees. Participants will develop compositions that emphasis mark making and reflect the ability it has to express a subject.

Born in Dublin, Patricia Burns studied Fine Art at Dublin Institute of Technology and Crawford College of Art & Design, Cork. She lives and works in Cork. Solo exhibitions of her work have been held at the Lavit Gallery, Cork (2019); Taylor Galleries, Dublin (2024, 2021, 2019, 2016, 2014); Garter Lane Arts Centre, Waterford (2012); Triskel Arts Centre, Cork (2011); Vanguard Gallery, Cork (2008); and the Ashford Gallery, Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin (2007).

This event is part of the associated programme for the exhibition Thirty-Six Views of the Sugarloaf by Nell Regan & Cathy Henderson.

Thirty-Six Views of the Sugarloaf is funded by The Arts Council and supported by Wicklow County Arts Office through the annual Strategic Project Award Scheme.
