Is it Art?  Is it Craft?

The Art of Craft Exhibition is an exhibition of Craft|Applied Art|Design intended to both challenge and inform the public perception of Craft|Applied Art |Design and hopes to go some way towards answering this much asked question.

Visitors to the exhibition are asked to vote for their favourite piece and an award of £300, ‘The People’s Prize’, will be made to the winning Artist|Designer|Maker.

The Art of Craft Exhibition was open to submissions from Artist|Designer|Makers working in Craft Disciplines recognised by either the Crafts Council of Ireland or the Crafts Council (UK).

The winner then gets a free 6ft table at our event on Sunday 4^th of May and if you have already booked a table, you get a refund or can have a free 6ft table at our Craft Festival on Sunday 23^rd November.

Get typing…short and sweet, to the point and make it real !!!

“A Taste of Mosaics”

Mosaic Mirror Workshop

Create a beautiful one of a kind “mosaic mirror” over the course of two days in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.  Enjoy the opportunity to explore and develop your own creativity. Whether you have previous mosaic experience or are a complete beginner, this workshop is suitable for all levels as numbers are small allowing for individual attention to all participants.

All materials, tools, refreshments and light lunch will be provided over the two days.  Plus a small “goodie” bag to take away at the end of the workshop.

During the workshop you will learn the basics of the art of mosaic, including design, materials used, substrates, adhesives, cutting and laying and finally grouting.  You will be given lots of information to allow you to complete further projects at home.

If you wish to make a weekend of it, self-catering accommodation is also available. For further details, please mail or call.
