Mrs Maker is Art Workshop
Through storytelling Kerrie will inspire you to really look at the land in front of you and to create your own memory on seeded paper that can then be planted in your garden. The charcoal come from fire and ash, the seed paper is planted with hope and together they show how the past nourishes the present.
Kerrie’s deep connection to the land is reflected in her evocative painting of the Ballyboley Dexters—a symbol of sustainable farming—and her heartfelt poem, 'Sustainable Giant'.
This unique itinerary offers a chance to awaken your creative spirit through hands-on expression before immersing yourself in the serene beauty of Orlock Farm—a place where heritage meets nature’s abundance. The day blends artistic discovery with peaceful reflection, all topped off with the option to savour a relaxing wild dining lunch surrounded by the tranquility of the countryside.
