Always a creative place, where talented chefs work their magic on raw ingredients in the kitchens to create masterpieces of taste and flavour, and maestro mixologists create cocktails that would put any gallery walls to shame with their colours, The Twelve in Bearna now also has ‘Inspiration Strikes!’ a fascinating new package designed to help you unleash your own inner artist.
Come West and spend a few days painting outdoors in the spectacular landscape, or in the comfortable and authentic setting of a working artist’s studio all under the watchful eye and with the expert tuition of local artist Geraldine Folan.
A native Galwegian who lives and works in Bearna, Geraldine’s paintings are a response to the distinctive climate and landscape of Connemara and the West of Ireland. She explores the rapidly shifting weather patterns and changing light effects of this scenic part of the country. She is an experienced teacher, enjoying nothing more than working with each individual helping them to experience the joy of painting, whether an absolute beginner or experienced painter.
This ‘Inspiration Strikes!’ package costs just €480 per person or €660 per couple and includes all art materials and tea or coffee during the daily class, which usually run from 10.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. over two days’ painting, with three nights accommodation in one of The Twelve’s superb bedrooms, plus dinner in the wonderful West restaurant at The Twelve and two packed lunches to fuel your creative genius!
