Kildare: Bring out the artist inside you

From woodturning to pottery, Barberstown Castle is a great base to exercise your creative skills.

EMBRACING your creativity and making your own artwork is a childish pleasure few lose interest in, and just beyond the bustling city of Dublin lies a plethora of artistic treats available for anyone wanting to indulge their creative side.

It’s close enough for city slickers to sneak off on a long weekend, or indeed a short one, and return to the concrete jungle with a creation from their own hands to place on the mantelpiece.
