Models of Practice is an artwork, initiated by Michelle Doyle, about rehearsal, rehearsal spaces, and the unseen processes of making music with others. In 2022, Ormston House was reconfigured for musicians from the local metal scene in Limerick. Different bands used a purpose-built room, while visitors could watch rehearsals through small windows and listen through the walls. The Models of Practice t-shirt is based on the logo and banner made by the artist.
