A number of my students have expressed an interest in a fast-paced sewing course.
That is why I have designed a series of intensive Sewing Bootcamps - new hands-on courses which will help budding sewers master all of the basic skills and techniques they will need to tackle dressmaking and soft furnishing projects.

These courses will obviously cover more than I am able to cover in a 3 hour Workshop and will allow me to do many things which I don’t have time to deal with in the shorter time-frame.

Bootcamp 1 will run over 4 consecutive weekdays (mornings  9.30 – 12.30) or over two Saturdays (mornings 10am – 1pm and afternoons 1.30pm – 4.30pm)

I will teach students about:
- The different functions of a sewing machine
- Different fabrics and their uses
- Pattern markings
- The importance of precision
You learn and develop skills such as:
- Machine Sewing
- Hand sewing
- Inserting a zip
- Cutting out fabric using a pattern

And everyone will leave the course with a bag and cushion!

The starting dates of Sewing Bootcamp 1 are: 
- 28th May (weekdays)
- 8th June (weekends))
- 10th June (weekdays)

Information about Bootcamp 2 and Bootcamp 3, which will cover more
advanced skills, to follow!

Healing with Art’s workshop is designed with passion to explore the creative side of your personality. We are all so busy with our life and sometimes our inner passions and small cheerful hobbies disappear in the hussle bussle. The motivation behind this workshop is to get you connected back with those inner passions.

Not only that have you ever wanted to paint but never picked up a Brush, now this is an opportunity to get that ticked off as well. Offering all of you out there to discover new skills learn techniques, master the Mindfulness and relaxing whilst further developing their own personal style.

Doing all those while healing yourself and relaxing into the new beginning and new year resolutions.

Creativity isn’t just about art. It’s about the journey. And a journey into your innerself.

Following is the format for the day

Basically the Day will start with Guided mediation to relax yourselves and I will do Reiki(Healing Energy) on everyone and then Art Materials will be provided to start painting - it doesn’t matter what we do as each painting and Art does have a meaning that the person will get and makes them happy. Healing with Art brings along Colour therapy where in a person is drawn to Red means its balancing the Root chakra so we will cover more details on this and similarly for other colours. And you will also have an opportunity to experience mediation in between complimented by Angel card reading.

So it’s all about letting the inner child talk to us through the colors and brushes for the day and make yourselves happy kicking of the new year with a new beginning full of positive energy.

I would be more than happy to share further info or answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to email or ring me.

 Testimonial from February Workshop :

Moira: I took part in Manjulas healing throught art workshop back in february. I wasnt really sure what to expect as i hadnt painted in over 12years & was anxious not to be able 2 draw & paint anymore. Well, i have been talking about this worshop to all my friends . I find brilliant the combo of the different meditations done during d day, d personal mini reiki session given to each person & the angel cards touch.it really worked for me- d people i spent d day with, different ages & backgrounds, d laughters & athmosphere… I got somehow unblocked - & have been paiting ever since. I keep on referring Manjula to my friends cause i really know they will benefit from her workshop - just as much as i did. She was brilliant & really helped me a lot.

Since the Knitting World Record the Wool Craft Village has become an event in itself at the Roscommon Lamb Festival.  Normally in the town square the Wool Craft Village this year is weaving it’s way down to Loughnaneane Park on Sunday 5^th May as part of the Family Fun Day.   

Wool Craft Village organisers Michelle Fallon and Frances Crowe are excited about the new location and thrilled to be part of the Family Fun Day which they have missed out on in previous years. 

“It’s great to get to the park and be able to showcase all the crafts associated with a sheeps’ fleece, particularly as the park attracts so many families with young children.  I myself have found there is a huge increase in the number of children wanting to learn to knit and crochet through my own workshops at my cottage” says Michelle Fallon local Textile Artist. 

“We are delighted to be part of the Family Fun Day.  It’s great to see the reaction of people when they see us spinning a fleece and creating wool with it.  So many people have never even seen it being done” says Frances Crowe local Fibre Artist. 

Frances and Michelle have selected numerous textile and fibre artists to take part in this year’s Wool Craft Village demonstrating the many uses of fleece in contemporary crafts.  You will be able to chat to the artists, soak up the creative atmosphere and indulge in some woolly creativity.

Maggie Dolan and Breda McNelis will be on hand demonstrating feltmaking, Bridget Banham and Ger Murphy will show how to card and spin fleece to create wool,  Michelle Fallon will demonstrate knitting, crochet and wool embroidery and Frances Crowe will show how to do loom and tapestry weaving.

 Frances and Michelle will also be showcasing the final piece from their Fleece to Piece events held earlier in the week at their studios. 

If you love yarn and are wild about all things woolly they you will love the Wool Craft Village.  Whether it’s knitting, crochet, weaving, felt making, spinning or felting you will find something at the Wool Craft Village to inspire you.  Come and enjoy a fun filled day of fibre craft Sunday 5^th May, Loughnaneane Park, Roscommon.

Mixed ability workshop in beautiful Antrim, 29th to 31st of March

Antrims dramatic coastline boasts some of Irelands finest scenery. A great location with numerous spots to visit for both sunrise and sunset.

You could not ask for a more perfect location for photography. Dramatic coastline with seascapes, rockpools, vast skies with the added charm of staying at the Ballylinny cottages beside the Giants Causeway eating quality home cooked food for 2 nights and 2 days.

Along with the basics of Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO  and Depth of Field we will also deal with Filters (Neutral Density & Polarisers), White Balance (Kelvin Scale), Histograms and much more. We recap on all topics but the mixed ability workshop has more emphasis on Form & Composition, Light and connection to your subject.The great advantage of a residential workshop is that it is continuous and intensive with photography from dawn to dusk and beyond with critique of the images shot on the workshop.

I will go through some techniques on photoshop and process at lease one of your images ready for printing.

There will be no more than 6 people in the group so that you each receive plenty of personal attention and tuition.

All food is included and comes in the form of the home cooked variety by…..me!!!

Cost (includes all food and accommodation for Friday and Saturday night) €550

Greenland Expedition

A wonderful opportunity has come my way and I have been invited to take part in a sailing expedition to Greenland with a wonderful crew of adventurers. There’ll be sailors, rock climbers, kayakers,  film makers and me on board the Killary Flyer, a 49′ aluminium hulled yacht, which departs Kilary Harbour on the 15th of June to set sail for Greenland. Once we have battled the rough Atlantic we will make our way up the west coast where further adventures will begin. I intend to photograph the beauty of ice while I’m there from calving glaciers to deep blue ice caves and from towering ice bergs to miniature exquisite ice scultures. You can keep updated on our progress on our website:

 www.northofdisko.com

and on our Facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/IrishExpeditions

As some of you may know I have photographed ice before when I put together my Sand & Ice collection. I travelled to the Sahara before heading to Iceland to complete this collection. You can view some of these images on my website:

http://dulraphotography.com/Projects/sand-a-ice.html

Spending time with the ice in Iceland had a profound effect on me as I found the infinite and sublime beauty of the ice to be nature’s creativity at it’s best. This is an incredible, once in a lifetime, opportunity to capture more of this stunning beauty.

I plan to host an exhibition and publish a book on my return. If you would like to know more please get in touch.

Kind regards,

Daragh
