Itinerary:
This class will meet in the studio facilities at Burren College burrencollege.ie, an art school located on the grounds of a sixteenth century castle amidst the spectacular western Irish seacoast.  This course is designed on an open studio or residency model. Students will have the freedom and time to focus on and develop independent projects, detached from the conventions and constraints of traditional curriculum. Each student will be provided with studio space for the entire residency, enabling full engagement with their work, free from distraction. Peter Power and Judith Geichman will be available to meet with students for individual discussion and guidance. There will be group critiques as well as numerous informal sessions. Field trips, readings, and explorations of the Irish culture and ruggedly beautiful landscape will provide an expansive and rare environment in which to work.
