Yes yes yes you and I in real life. IRL all the way.
A date for your calendar:
Saturday March 14th, 2pm
Mermaid Arts Centre
Bré/Bray
Come and draw with me. The exhibition will be an open studio where we can test inks and make some experiments (open studio dates & times soon announced @mermaid arts centre). Now I need to step away from the phone, for a long while. I prefer to see you in real life. I need to do some work too.
If you need me, you know where to find me.
Also through elidamaiques.com.
Install of the mini art exhibition @criochbray , the lovely café @mermaidartscentre . It is all recent work by #Fridayfest.
Started in 2022 with myself as a facilitator, Mermaid Arts Centre and @artscouncilireland funded #Fridayfest, a weekly drawing circle.
The group is currently self-organised and going from strength to strength. They have developed a strong partnership with Críoch Café who very kindly offered every nook and cranny for the exhibition.
Visit their first show, enjoy the great Wicklow menu at Críoch Café, pick up the new Mermaid programme. It is well worth it.
This was our third Roundwood Series workshop last Saturday! 🍂
We gathered the last of the Autumn leaves before using our creativity to learn more about native Irish trees, Samhain, and the Ogham alphabet. In the end, everyone went home with some beautiful eco printed cards! 🍃
Thanks to all who joined us, we hope you had as much fun as we did! 🍁
Join us for the fourth and final workshop of the series on 21 March 2026, when we’ll learn to make watercolours from earth pigments 🎨 Book your spot on @mermaidartscentre ’s website or via the l¡nk in b¡o.
