A Gathering in Lagganstown

Lagganstown School Reunion 2013

Former pupils of the schoolhouse are arranging a school gathering on the 2nd & 4th August 2013, to meet old friends and classmates once again. 

To celebrate this event, Art Hive are going to hold a second studio open day. After all if you are going to have a school reunion it seems appropriate to visit the school itself.

National Drawing Day 2013, Clonmel

Art Hive hosted a ‘Drop in and Draw’ Event for National Drawing Day on Saturday 18th May at the Paddock by kind permission of the Showgrounds Shopping Centre, Clonmel. The idea behind the event was to let people experiment with a wide variety of drawing techniques and media using materials provided by the group.

Early version of poster

Stolen Gate

The front gate to the studio was stolen, sometime between the 20th and the 24th of March we reckon. Though it had a basic design, it was very solid durable structure. Presumably it dates back prior to 1971, when the building was a school.

This is most unfortunate. We had planned on letting a neighbour have some goats graze on the grounds round the school. It would have been a more environmentally friendly and economically viable way of trimming the grass. Until a new gate is put in, that's not going to happen. 

We don't have any decent quality photos of it (see above) to send to the Gardai. If anyone reading this has some do please either fax or drop them into the Tipperary station c/o John Bohan.

For Culture Night 2012 Art Hive are presenting a showcase of members work.

There will also be a taster of Violeta Pseractaite’s new performance project called Wild Woman and the Goddess Within.  Awaken your senses through the experience of colour, symbols, scents, music, character and clothes. According to Violeta, “through the creative imagination, this event bridges our mind body and soul. Women as wives and mothers, daughters and sisters have their own world, full of feminine beauty and ritual.” Light refreshments served including herbal teas.

The showcase of members work also includes two new artists-in-residence Robin Daly and Emma Hogan who have both recently joined Art Hive’s studio in Lagganstown. New members Catherine Starling and Tishi O’Malley are also exhibiting along with members Ian Mannion, Dennis Ryan and Brigid Teehan. 

Guest artist Blanche Starling is also exhibiting in the window space.
