Cruinniú na nÓg 2026 Printing in Nature

Service Description

Join us for a creative outdoor adventure in the beautiful grounds of Russborough House. This “Geli Plate printing” session is curated especially for children ages 6-9. Children will explore the landscape, forage for natural materials, and use their found objects to create unique, nature-inspired prints. Working plein air (outdoors), participants will experiment with texture, pattern, and mark-making while learning simple printmaking techniques in a relaxed, playful environment. Each workshop encourages curiosity, creative confidence, and connection to nature — with every child taking home their own process focused handmade artworks. Workshops are designed to be age-appropriate by considering the unique needs and interests of different age groups. Come dressed for an inky adventure — aprons or old clothes are best for printmaking.
