Dunamaise Arts Centre hosts Print and Prosecco on Saturday, 12 September 2026, a two-hour evening that pairs a guided craft session with a social drink. Artist Leonie Connellan leads participants through making eco-friendly prints from recycled cartons while a glass of prosecco is served, priced at €35 per person.
The session is built as much around company as craft, participants work in a shared space making prints using recycled carton materials under Connellan’s guidance, with prosecco served through the evening as part of the ticket price. It suits complete beginners since the technique is taught from scratch, and the eco-friendly recycled materials give the workshop an environmental angle alongside the social one. It runs for two hours in the evening, making it a realistic option for a Saturday night out that does not require booking a babysitter for the whole evening or travelling far. It sits within Dunamaise’s growing programme of adult social workshops, alongside courses like the crochet classes running the same month, reflecting a wider trend of arts centres pairing hands-on craft with a drink to make midweek and weekend evenings feel like an occasion rather than a class. Finished prints are taken home at the end of the session.
Dunamaise Arts Centre is on Church Street in Portlaoise town centre, close to the train station and the town’s main car parks. Portlaoise sits on the Dublin to Cork and Dublin to Limerick rail lines and just off the M7 motorway.
A Saturday evening workshop is a good reason to make a night of it in the county town, with cafes and restaurants around Church Street nearby. There is more to see in Portlaoise and across Co. Laois.
