Back to the Drawing Board

Join artist Stephen Doyle for a new season of drawing classes for older people. With a focus on still life using charcoal, each class will introduce the fundamentals of drawing and guide participants through step by step processes so they can master line, space, light & shade, and texture.

Back to the Drawing Board is run as part of the Glucksman’s Creative Ageing programme. The Glucksman’s Creative Ageing programme is dedicated to involving older people in all kinds of activities in the gallery with an emphasis on social, fun and creative encounters.

Stephen Doyle is a Cork-based artist who graduated from the Crawford College of Art and Design in 2017. In 2018, they were shortlisted for the Zurich Portrait Prize with an artwork that was later acquired by the Crawford Art Gallery making it the first piece in the National Collection to discuss transgender/queer identity. They have had multiple solo exhibitions in Cork, Dublin, and London and residencies with Backwater Artist Studios, Harmony Art Gallery, and the Butler Gallery. In 2020, they were awarded a Visual Art Bursary Award by the Arts Council of Ireland and were included in the Art History syllabus for the Leaving Cert examination.
