Here in the geographic centre of Ireland we establish ourselves
for classes and excursions. With Charleville Castle as the
base of operations, we are given full and complete access
to a working castle as students find countless possibilities
for creative flow as they paint, draw, photograph, or video
the lush primordial forest and 2,000 surrounding acres.
Educational side trips to Clonmacnoise (the
site of the standing crosses and beginning of Christianity
in Ireland); the bog lands; Dublin city; with with free travel and
exploration days allow participants to see and experience
the real Ireland - and still return to their paid accommodations
each evening.
Students will also have the opportunity to esplore the western coast of Ireland including County Kerry, County Cork, Galway, Laninch, the Cliffs of Moher and more on a four day guided tour with overnight accomodations that is included in the program.
