Our Cavan artists have arrived home safely from their two week Leonardo da Vinci Mobility exchange in Creative Industries, Tartu, Estonia. All reported a very rewarding trip having gained lots of experience print making and meeting artists from across Estonia.

They worked at the Creative Industries artist’s hub in the centre of this rural Estonian market town. They also met and visited other artists at the Print Museum and participated in Design workshops and printmaking.
