A little glassy reminder for this week 🔥🌿

I’ll be doing a live demo for Culture Night on Friday! 🔥👀🔥

We’ve still got spaces for our flameworking workshops at Leitrim Sculpture Centre:

Thursday 17th
Morning: 4 spaces available
Afternoon: 2 spaces left

Saturday 19th
Still plenty of room if you fancy a Saturday at the torch.

No experience needed, just come curious. We’ll cover the basics, get you safely set up at the flame, and you’ll leave having made something of your own in glass.

DM me or Dúlra to grab a spot ✨

Final weekend of THREADS ✨

Today and tomorrow are the last chance to see THREADS: Time, Memory and Material in the Chapter House, Cashel.

It has been such a special thing to curate and watch this exhibition live in this building. The light shifts, the glass changes, the old cases and architecture become part of the work, and the whole space seems to hold the stories differently each time you walk through it.

After all the planning, installing and site-specific problem-solving, it feels slightly surreal that we’re already at the final weekend.

Saturday 12 September
12–4pm + 6:30–8pm

Sunday 13 September
12:30–4pm

Come see it before we take it all apart. 🥲

Moving through its chapters, visitors experience glass not as a single tradition but as a living, expansive field of making. Together, the works reflect the skill, generosity and momentum of a community expanding what glass can be.
