Ireland, anyone?

A calm place to be in these turbulent times

This isn’t a political post. Nor is it a travel post, well, maybe it is a bit of a travel post.

I’m popping in today to invite you to spend a week in Ireland with me. I’ll be there in July, teaching my final workshop ever. I’ve had a glorious 27-year career teaching mixed media art around the world. I want to make this last time special. That’s where you come in.

The workshop is a calm break from the outside world, creating found poetry, bookmaking, and painting the pages for your handmade book with milk paint. No prior experience with anything needed. All you need is a love of words, desire, intuition, and willing hands and heart.

The accommodations and classroom at the Essence of Mulranny facility are brand new! The staff is amazing and super considerate of your needs. The scenery and side trips are awe-inspiring. There are just 2 spots left. Is one of those yours? Or maybe both for you and a friend? If you have any questions, please get in touch. Here is the link with all the other info you need. Lesley's Workshop 💚

PS. Be prepared for magic in both the workshop and the country. ✨
