GLDA : UPCOMING DRAWING WORKSHOP_
Devil in the Detail: Cross Section and Construction Detailing Workshop
One of the biggest challenges that creative people face is how to realise inspired ideas into
technical details that can be easily interpreted by a landscape contractor.
Sectional elevations, construction details and a host of other technical plans are often
the downfall of even the best designers. And many of the most innovative ideas fail to be
realised because of limited understanding of what detail drawings should encompass.
Thankfully for Ireland’s budding designers, the Garden and Landscape Design Association
(GLDA) have come to the rescue. Responding to huge industry and public demand, two
of the GLDA’s key members, Jane McCorkell and Lisa Murphy, both renowned designers,
have developed a one-day detail drawing program created specifically to help people realise
their creative garden ideas. “The day will tackle a number of drawing types,” explained
Jane. “We will be providing tips and guidance on how undertake construction detailing for
gardens as well as insight into how to draught sectional elevations.” In addition to direct
instruction by the program leaders, the day will also include a number of hands-on exercises
that allow attendees to practice their new techniques under professional supervision.
The event, which is entitled Devil in the Detail...a guide to sectional drawings and
construction detailing, is being held on Thursday 23rd September at The Mill, Johnstown,
Naas, Co Kildare, and will run from 10am to 4.30pm. So if your looking to realise your
own garden ideas, seeking upskill your design drawing skills or simply frustrated with your
drawing abilities, then the up-coming GLDA drawing workshop is a must attend event.
