Join Marilyn in the west of Ireland (Mayo & Connemara) for a workshop set on the hills of Mulranny village overlooking Clew Bay in County Mayo. Students are housed in a comfortable setting with private rooms and great sea views. Delicious homemade meals are served in the large country dining room with a big open fireplace and plenty of room to gather for social evenings.

Scenic adventures are organized during your stay with time to see some of the west of Ireland and visit places of interest. You will also meet other talented local Irish artists. Classes are held on days 3, 4 & 6 with time to relax and work on your projects in between. Private bus tours with guide are arranged for shopping the local towns of westport and/or Castlebar, a visit to Hennigans Heritage center, the Country Life Museum (very interesting!) and the Foxford Woolen Mills. After visiting with fiber artist Suzie Sullivan, you will drive through the beautiful Connemara Mountains into Galway, past Ashleigh Falls and on to Leenane where you can visit the Sheep and Wool Museum. During your stay you will see famous Harry Clarke stained glass windows in Newport church, walk through the ruins of Burrishoole Abbey and climb the spiral staircase in Grace O'Malley's castle.
