Through the community project, <\/span>Precious<\/span><\/em>, internationally acclaimed glass artist, Michelle O’Donnell in collaboration with Tullamore Family Resource Centre will explore ideas around what we perceive as valuable\u2014both personally and environmentally.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project will take place over a series of 4\u20135 workshops at Tullamore Resource Centre, bringing together a diverse group of participants aged 8 to 80. It is designed as a cross-community initiative, encouraging people who might not otherwise meet to come together, connect, and share in a creative, welcoming environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary medium used will be fused glass and enamels. This unique material offers qualities of light, reflection, and translucency. While it can be challenging to work with, it is ultimately a highly rewarding process.<\/span><\/p>\n

This project offers participants the opportunity to explore and reflect on what they consider \u201cprecious,\u201d both in their personal lives and within the environment around them. During the early summer months, the group will also take part in outings along Tullamore\u2019s canal and waterways, photographing elements they feel represent something precious within their shared community. Project will culminate in a public exhibition, show and tell event at Tullamore FRC. Date to be confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":40670,"template":"","class_list":["post-40669","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPrecious - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Through the community project, Precious, internationally acclaimed glass artist, Michelle O'Donnell in collaboration with Tullamore Family Resource Centre will explore ideas around what we perceive as valuable\u2014both personally and environmentally.\" \/>\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\/precious\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Precious - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Through the community project, Precious, internationally acclaimed glass artist, Michelle O’Donnell in collaboration with Tullamore Family Resource Centre will explore ideas around what we perceive as valuable\u2014both personally and environmentally.
