What is a stenchpole and where is it? A workshop with Ciara O'Flynn

What is a stenchpole and where is it?

Find out with Cork City Council Conservation Officer, Ciara O’Flynn, as she invites us to slow down and look through the lens of drawing to appreciate the fragments of historic built heritage, left by our fore-bearers on the streets of Cork City. Through the medium of drawing change your perception to see their attention to detail and quality, craftsmanship and perceive the layers of time we walk through in our daily lives. Walk and draw through the Marsh and if you like, leave your permanent mark on the streets by entering your drawing into the art competition to illustrate the checkpoints for Route 2 of the Urban Orienteering Course which will wind its way through the Marsh and the South Parish… and leave knowing what a stenchpole is.

* NO drawing experience required *
