National Drawing Day which is organised by the National Gallery of Ireland took place on Saturday 18th May.
Waterford County Museum took part in the event and it was a huge success.
In the morning a large group of children enjoyed the Drawing Workshop.
This was followed by a talk on "Different Approaches to Drawing" by A. C. Hayes.
The Adult’s Drawing Workshop took place in the afternoon after a guided tour by the curator William Fraher of the paintings, drawings and prints in the museum.
Two of the pictures, which are recent acquisitions to the museum, “The G.P.O. 1916” by Robert Ballagh and “The Corinthian Cup 1854” by Waterford artist Michael Angelo Hayes were discussed in the tour.
