“Book of Trees”
Building a Handmade Book Dedicated to the Trees That You Love

We will begin this workshop by going out and gathering sticks and pieces of nature to use in our first project, one that will fill you with delight!

Then we will come in and you will begin to assemble your own artist book or journal using a simple binding technique. While this special book dries we will make abstract marks on a large sheet of paper to later tear or cut into book pages.

I will guide you in my process of glazing fabric to use in our books. In this book you will make abstract marks and simple botanical sketches. You will use different tools and discover new techniques and learn about the processes that I use to create my works. We will take field trips out to the countryside and be immersed in the natural environment. We will walk and observe and record what we see in our writing and our photographs.

I have a popular online workshop titled A Book of Trees, and that is what has inspired me to create this in-person workshop in the Irish landscape with a backdrop of the Wild Atlantic.

I cannot wait to return to Mulrany Arts. I was here a few years and fell completely in love. Come and be enchanted with me!

From all of us here at EOM

You are warmly invited to stay a while.

We invite you to imagine standing on the panoramic hillside of our studio, taking in the spectacular views of Clew bay and Croagh Patrick (Ireland’s holy mountain).

Open your heart to the profoundly moving drama of constantly shifting Atlantic skies, reflecting an ever changing light show on the bay. The wildness and drama of this spectacular area belie the peace and connection you will feel to Ireland and to this very special place.

Lay on a blanket in the heather and watch the stars emerge on a clear night or walk along the rocky shores, to gather shells, driftwood and memories. Find yourself letting go of the stress of everyday life, feel the mystery and beauty of this land, awakening your senses.

This unspoiled place provide a safe place of inspiration and experimentation to stretch your skills in whatever medium you are working on, in an amazing state of the art studio..

Join us in Mulranny, Ireland.

Set in the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way, Essence of Mulranny Studios provides a sanctuary for creativity—where the rugged beauty of Ireland’s west coast becomes both backdrop and inspiration. Surrounded by stone walls, sea air, and the deep-rooted myths of the land, you’ll find the perfect setting to truly immerse yourself in your work and your growth.
