I'm delighted to be part of a mixed-media exploration of contemporary fine craft at Cill Rialaig Arts Centre, Dun Geagan, Ballinskelligs County Kerry from June 3 to October 15, 2012  The exhibition was opened by Karen Hennessy, CEO, Crafts Council of Ireland.

'The utilitarian nature of traditional crafts has been dramatically subverted by many contemporary fine craft artists. In this exciting exhibition, basketry, wood turning, ceramics and glass move from traditional vessels to exciting expressions of form and material, conveying ideas, visual poetry and delight while still retaining vestiges of their original function.'

Participating artists include Liam Flynn, Roger Bennett, Emmett Kane, and Keiran Higgins working in wood, Joe Hogan working in basketry, Jack Doherty and Mandy Parslow working in ceramics, and Karl Harron and Lucinda Robertson working in glass.
