Getting Creative in Ireland
For anyone with a creative bent, there’s nothing like a trip to Ireland to get those creative juices flowing.
We came upon The Art Hand in County Waterford when our friend Ruby Clover was invited to teach a course there (her 3-day session on making waaaaay cool collage boxes will be held July 4-6th).
If you’re looking for an artistic endeavor to add to your itinerary, take a look at their offerings. This season’s lineup includes a mix of mediums like drawing, painting, claywork, photography, cartooning, collage, and stained glass.
