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<p><span>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.
