Angelinas Foster Studio – Angelina Foster

Hands-on Creative Workshops

Immersive creative workshops and experiences that bring Irish words, culture, and heritage to life

I had a great time participating in Angelina's grave rubbing workshop for Culture Night 2020 - Angelina explained the methodology she uses, showed us her unique materials and got us actively engaged in the task at hand! Her workshop is a fusion of craftsmanship, design and fun that blends local heritage and art together beautifully. Highly recommend

Types of Workshops

My hands-on, creative workshops feature ancient skills including printing, book-making, book-binding, and grave-rubbing

Printmaking and Bookbinding

Learn the basics or progress your skills in screen printing and bookbinding, in fun and creative workshops.

Natural Dye Eco Printing

Create your own natural, botanical art print on paper using leaves and flowers foraged from the local trees and plants in Ireland’s Ancient East.

Grave Rubbing

Reveal the past by marking out prints from intricate details on the monuments, headstones, and standing stones around Ireland’s Ancient East.

About me

I have been an artist and travel lover all my life. This is why I have a paper plane as my logo.

As an artist and printmaker, I am inspired by words, stories, and symbols from Ireland’s past.
I share my passion for Ireland’s words, heritage and culture through the designs and experiences I create.

As well as creating multilingual Irish language t-shirts and gifts, I work across Ireland’s Ancient East with community, heritage, and commercial projects to bring Irish language, culture, and heritage to life.

My hands-on immersive workshops and art experiences – delivered at festivals events and venues across Ireland – give everyone the opportunity to explore their own creativity and be inspired by traditional stories and techniques.

Happy Participants

I attended a Grave Rubbing Workshop hosted by Angelina and it was absolutely fantastic. Angelina has a wealth of knowledge about Grave Rubbing and I felt that I learned so much about the activity. This was my first time Grave Rubbing so I had no idea what to expect, Angelina made made me feel at ease and was unbelievably patient with the group. I would highly recommend this workshop to others who are interested in history and would like to learn a new skill. It was great to try something completely different.
