Workshops will focus on design, painting, calligraphy and there will also be two portrait painting events of local community members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IE\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IE\">Anyone who is interested is welcome to join whether they consider themselves artistic or not. Everyone will be facilitated by artists Mick O&#8217;Dea and Liz Rackard in exploring their own unique connection to Killanne and what the village and area means to them. Workshops will allow time for discussion, brainstorming, art making, trial and error with art materials and eventually the translation of ideas onto the pages that will be bound together to create the book. Once ideas and designs are clearer, everyone will be assigned a page or two which will become a part of the final handmade and bound book. The book will be bound by a professional bookbinder experienced in creating artists books.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IE\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-IE\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":42120,"template":"","class_list":["post-42119","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>The Great Book of Killanne - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The \u2018Great Book of Killanne\u2019 will explore and celebrate the heritage of Killanne, capturing a moment in time through the creation of a unique large format handmade book.\" \/>\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\/the-great-book-of-killanne\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Great Book of Killanne - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The \u2018Great Book of Killanne\u2019 will explore and celebrate the heritage of Killanne, capturing a moment in time through the creation of a unique large format handmade book.
