Join us for a Ceramic tile making workshop with artist Mary Conroy, using medieval techniques and motifs.

The workshop looks back at a heritage of clay and ceramics in Kilkenny and Castlecomer.

About:

A Magic Moving Living Thing 2025 is a return to this artist-led project by Mary Conroy which took place at Butler Gallery in 2022. This project is an eco-cultural training programme, designed to connect to communities in the North Kilkenny River Nore catchment. A series of workshops will engage participants in creative ways to reflect and connect with our human and more-than-human relationships with the river and the river catchment, through making and discussion.

A publication is planned for a launch in Autumn 2025 which will share the community voices that have engaged in this project, and the many ways that the river keepers of the River Nore connect with the river.

Medieval Ceramic Tile Making is a Heritage Week event for Butler Gallery.

This event is free, but space is limited, please book a ticket to attend.

This project is supported by Kilkenny Leader Partnership.
