Watch up top as Aisling from Cork brings us a special report on her inspiring Aunt, Íde Ní Shúilleabháin, a famous painter who works at the Crawford Supported Studio in the Crawford Art Gallery.

In studio, 2nd years from St Patrick's CGS are recreating medieval gargoyles with paper mâché and household objects.

Three young painters from Synge Street Secondary School let loose making action art inspired by the abstract expressionist Jackson Pollack.

Artist-in-residence Ross Carvill demonstrates a unique drawing challenge designed to awaken our creative minds. With the help from pupils from Saint Brigid’s National School they create some very unusual and fantastic beasts.

And, Tom visits acclaimed painter Elizabeth Cope in her Shankill Castle studio where he gets to be an Artist's Apprentice for the day.
