Things are about to get fun, explosively colourful and brilliantly messy at The Model with our children’s paint workshops, commencing on July 11th and running until the end of the month. Catering for all ages, The Model invites its youthful artists to let loose and imaginatively explore freely through paint and color, under the supervision of our experienced artists.

Paint Power, runs from 11-13 of July, 11am to 1pm for children aged 8-12 years at €30/€25 . This is a perfect opportunity for this age group to discover the explosive power of paint over a three day session. Balloons will be used to ‘paint bomb’ a giant mural on the hoarding of The Model featuring creatures and landscapes born from the children’s use of colours and imagination! Note to parents – this is not for the faint-hearted. It is advisable to wear something that you don’t mind getting colourful. Led by artist Pia Lück.
