As a result of Michael\u2019s skill as a craftsman, his business acumen and his bravery to forge ahead, a lot of young creatives just out of Art college could find employment with a great teacher and become part of a strong network, which Michael had created. This legacy lives on. Sligo is a changed place as a result of Michael\u2019s presence in Sligo\u2019s creative community.&nbsp;<br \/>In conjunction with the Bealtaine Festival Sligo, a curated group exhibition will take place at the Hyde Bridge Gallery. This exhibition will showcase many of the ceramic artists and creatives whom Michael mentored over the years. This exhibition will be a highlight of the Bealtaine Festival Sligo events programming 2025. We at the MADE Collective would like to support this exhibition with a number of in-house talks and mentor sessions.<br \/>This project would be a timetable selection of mentor sessions for emerging creatives in Sligo\u2019s Creative community, which will link in with the Bealtaine Festival Sligo&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":36237,"template":"","class_list":["post-36236","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Made Creative Courtyard Sessions - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"As part of the Bealtaine Festival Sligo and in conjunction with the Michael Kennedy-inspired exhibition at the Hyde Bridge Gallery May 2025, we at the Made Collective would like to run a number of creative events as a spin-off from this exhibition.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Made Creative Courtyard Sessions - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As part of the Bealtaine Festival Sligo and in conjunction with the Michael Kennedy-inspired exhibition at the Hyde Bridge Gallery May 2025, we at the Made Collective would like to run a number of creative events as a spin-off from this exhibition.At the height of Michael Kennedys career, he was running two large studio potteries [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CreativeIrl\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@creativeirl\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/\",\"name\":\"Made Creative Courtyard Sessions - Creative Ireland Programme\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/made-in-sligo-image.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-06-13T02:02:49+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/made-in-sligo-image.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/made-in-sligo-image.jpg\",\"width\":526,\"height\":526},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/made-creative-courtyard-sessions\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Made Creative Courtyard Sessions\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/\",\"name\":\"Creative Ireland Programme\",\"description\":\"The Creative Ireland Programme is guided by a vision that every person in Ireland will have the opportunity to realise their full creative potential.
