Perched just a couple of hundred yards from The Gobbins Cliffs, Audrey Kyle offers a unique art workshop, helping people learn the skills of painting as well as connecting with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folklore and the landscape of the Islandmagee peninsula, shaped by the sea, offers a stunning backdrop to learn art away from the daily hustle and bustle of modern life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audrey Kyle Art operates on a simple premise – learning a new skill in a tranquil setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a concept Audrey developed after re-discovering her affinity for painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had been working in the corporate world in HR, but eight years ago I took a change in direction and haven\u2019t looked back,\u201d she explained. \u201cI began painting, started to get commissions and my new career started from there\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audrey opened the Gobbins Studios to showcase her own work, but has since opened the studios for classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Saturday August 1 from 12pm – 4pm, Audrey will be hosting an open studio where she will be displaying some brand new pieces that incorporate organic materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is offered is quite different to what other art classes offer,\u201d she said. \u201cAs well as learning the skills of watercolours it is very much aimed at creating a relaxing, mindful experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also helps that the studio is part of a working farm with a livery stable and a flock of 50 Suffolk ewes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere we are situated means we have a stunning landscape and an active farm,\u201d Audrey said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are so many aspects that can be drawn upon. And, as it changes through the seasons it offers many different inspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor example, in the summertime we do watercolour workshops and experience days where the people that visit can go for a walk through the meadow and through the woodland, we collect wild grasses and wildflowers and then they come back to the studio and paint them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most classes last for three hours and can accommodate up to six people. However, there are also special summer sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn summer I host experience days, which last for five hours including lunch, and woodland and cliff top walk along with the watercolour practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis enables the folklore to be incorporated to build experiences of the folklore of Ireland and really embrace the spirit of this remarkable area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
