This four-day workshop with Conor McGrady immerses participants in the limestone landscape of the Burren and the studios at Burren College of Art.
A series of guided walks will provide the opportunity to respond to this unique environment through on-site drawing and gathering visual source material. Studio time will then focus on transforming these experiences through painting.
Working in oils or acrylics, participants will be introduced to a range of technical approaches, with teaching centred on individual tutorials and discussion.
Previous painting experience is helpful, but not essential.
June 2–5
€320
Small group — a few places remaining.

Working primarily in screenprint and drawing, McGardle creates layered, hand-drawn compositions that move between humour, satire, and parody. Her practice often plays with familiar imagery, reworking it through repetition and distortion.
During her residency, she is developing a series of plant-based screenprinting inks made entirely from native Irish plant materials, extending her process into the ecological and material conditions of place.
This residency forms part of a new partnership with Print Network Ireland, expanding BCA’s printmaking programme to support invited artists each spring, following our autumn residency with Clare Henderson from Graphic Studio Dublin.
Images: REDUCED FROM / TO, Emily McGardle, 2025. Two-colour risograph on paper, 44 pages, 8 Ă— 12 Ă— 0.3 cm. Edition of 30.
