Workshops

Orla runs expressive painting and drawing workshops for groups and public events, as well as one to one classes on request.

 

Classes start from 1 hour long, and can span full weekend courses: exploring mark making and non traditional ways of painting, loosening up approaches to drawing and painting. Delving into composition, colour, mark making and process: Classes are suitable for people new to painting, and for those returning to the easel, looking to free up their approach.
