IN ART

The Ballybane Youth Shed was set up by Donal Lynch a while back at the Community Hub. I teach arts/crafts to kids there during Summer-every 2nd week and at Easter, October mid term. 10yrs plus. It's free so if your kiddo is interested in creativity get in contact with The Ballybane Community Hub
We took part in the Cruinniú na nÓg festival on Saturday June 7th. It is an excellent day of creativity for children right across the country-all free-and lots to do- a very enjoyable day-we were really very busy all day. Parents brought there kids to us where they sprayed their own tee shirts (child friendly sprays). Butterflies, dragons, motorbikes, soccer players, damsel flies, birds, flower, timepieces and I forgot to get photos f them all-there were so many. The younger kids painted rocks and some kids wood burned maps. They really enjoyed it as did we. Sarah Passman ceramics thanks for all the help. Here is a sign the kids at the youth shed made-we have done lots of spray painting t shirts in classes, made this lovely colourful sign, rock painting, mode building and a few other bits this year.

Some pieces of my work in Kennys art gallery group show which began a few days ago.

Have some gothic drawings, a Misty morning in Merlin Woods in the east side arts festival exhibition curated by Hugh Murphy. In the Ballybane Scull centre. It runs for a few days. Lots of artists exhibiting. Check it out. My work is sold but if ye like gothic art or my previous wildlife drawings get in contact.

Charcoal portrait of a neighbour Vusi. Did this several months back. I do an occasional portrait.

Some of the work I have in The Limelight Gallery exhibition in Oranmore for Culture Night. Still there for this coming week. Pastel on paper. There's a field full of horses across from my studio and they are something I used draw as a kid so decided to do a few equestrian images for this exhibition. This exhibition will be running for a few weeks actually til 3rd week in October.
