Earth Day: Art & Biomaterials Workshop 

Celebrate this year's Earth Day and join us for a special workshop on biomaterials led by current exhibiting artist Mary Doyle Burke on April 22nd at Tea Houses, Kilkenny. 2.00pm–5.00pm.

What better way to mark Earth Day than by exploring how creativity can connect us more deeply to the natural world? You'll experiment with eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic materials, using everyday food waste alongside seeds gathered by the artist from local boglands, and explore pigment extraction from plants, uncovering natural colour processes and expanding your material palette.

Mary will guide you through making and experiencing biomaterials first-hand. Together, we'll reflect on our material choices and consider how art can exist within a wider circular economy. No prior experience needed. Adults only (18+).

What to expect 
2.00–2.30pm: Presentation by the artist on biomaterials
2.30–5.00pm: Hands-on experimentation with biomaterial samples, bogland gathered seeds, plant-based pigment extraction, and open discussion.
