August, 2012

Well the Arts Festival is well and truly under way and as usual the MADE in kilkenny exhibition ‘MADE by hand’ is one of the highlights and yes that’s me on the poster. All of the members were photographed while in the process of making their piece, you can read a little about that making process and see the photos beside the work on show.

These are some of the pitchers I have on show and this is a new glaze            ’duck egg green’

A series of beautiful bowls by Andrew Ludick

Abes favourite from the show, Aileen-Anne Brannigans stone hedgehogs

The MADE group also have a shop within the department store Goods on High street, Kilkenny this is only there for two more weeks, above is a photo of the window display I did in honour of the Arts Festival so when in town make sure to check it out as well as the exhibition and pop up shop in Butler House.

It has been a long time…..but I’m still here and going strong. Life has been so full, full of great things and days have just not been long enough to fit everything in so the blog has suffered big time. There has been so much going on over the past twelve months that I don’t know where to start, so I will start with the simple stuff, some thoughts on mother nature

This time of year I love the choice of flowers in bloom in the garden and I marvel at the different colour schemes that look so great together when I just randomly pick flowers in bloom at the same time, they always look great together. The top photo is of flowers picked early summer and the bottom one is taken this week.

Mother Nature knows best when it comes to colour combination
