Are you looking to connect with a community of professional artists, who share your journey of navigating a professional artistic career? We’re excited to invite you to the The Creative Brew – a relaxed meet & greet where you can share your practice, connect with others, and discuss possibilities. Whether you’re a theatre maker, costume designer, musician, dancer, or any kind of artist from any discipline (or multiple disciplines), everyone is welcome. Looking ahead, we envision this to be an ongoing space where we can support each other’s work, spark meaningful conversations, potentially discuss issues, and even collaborate on projects. Hosted by Subhashini Goda. Suba is a multidisciplinary dance artist, interested in collaborative explorations with diverse artists and looking to build an inclusive artistic community.
Our February meet up takes place on Thursday 19th February at 7pm at An Táin Arts Centre. In this session, facilitated by visual artist Grainne Murphy you’ll learn how to extract vibrant pigments from plants and experiment with eco-dyeing techniques to transform fabric in beautiful, unexpected ways. We’ll also explore expressive mark-making and playful approaches to working with plant-based colour. You’re invited to bring along an old white T-shirt or any piece of cotton fabric to give it new life as a unique, eco-conscious keepsake.
Please drop your old white T-shirt into An Táin Arts Centre, clearly labelled with your name and ‘Pigment Workshop’ so that it can be pre-treated prior to the workshop by Thursday 12th February.
This event is free, but booking is required as there is limited capacity for this workshop.
