Join artist Jan McCullough for an Open Studio event in Butler Gallery’s Garden Studio.
Jan is currently developing sculptural and photographic works that will become large scale installations. During her month-long residency in the Garden Studio, Jan has entered into research, conversations and archive visits, including the photographic archive of Kilkenny Design Workshops, housed in the NIVAL (National Irish Visual Arts Library) Dublin. Her research explores the overlooked legacy of female woodworkers in Kilkenny, through fostering new relationships and connections with local communities of interest and place.
