Reaching your workshop in Cork
Arriving in Cork for your workshop is straightforward. If you are travelling by train, Kent Station is the main railway hub, located a short walk or taxi ride from the city centre. Local buses provide good coverage across the city and its suburbs, making public transport a viable option for many groups.

Local culture
Cork's creative pulse and street art
Cork's street art scene, while not as overtly prominent as some larger European cities, is certainly present and growing, often found in unexpected corners. You might discover murals and paste-ups adding character to alleyways and building facades, particularly in areas like the Coal Quay or around the narrow lanes of the historic centre. This less formal, more organic growth gives Cork's street art a distinctive, authentic feel.
The city has a strong tradition of supporting local artists and creative endeavours, with galleries and cultural spaces often showcasing contemporary work. Public art pieces are also dotted around the city, contributing to its visual landscape. Our workshops aim to build on this creative undercurrent, providing a space for participants to add their own mark to Cork's artistic fabric, even if only temporarily on a canvas.
