Breadfellows' Chats - Mount Jubillee Community Pottery Workshop
DATE: 22 Jun, 2024TIME: 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Join artist Clare Breen for a free community pottery workshop and introduction to her practice and the Flower Féilire project.
Breadfellows' Chats is an artistic research methodology developed by artist Clare Breen focused on collaborative making in informal learning spaces and is process oriented. During a Breadfellows' Chat two or more people come together to have a conversation and to make an object together from clay
You are invited to be part of a Breadfellows' Chat with the Mount Jubilee and Gaoth Sáile communities. We'll learn how to make simple pinch pots and handbuilt pottery, and then participants will work collaboratively to get creative and make a set of community pottery vessels. These pots will be fired after the workshop, and returned to the community to keep and use in gatherings and feast events.
Clare will also introduce the Flower Féilire project, a year-long plant collection project to produce a collaborative cyanotype artwork for Mayo's indigenous plant life, and how you and your community can get involved. And we’ll also hear about the Wilderland public art and climate action project, and how communities can join its collaborative art and ecology projects over the next year.
Everyone welcome.
FREE entry, no booking required.
