mosaic workshop




During the holy nights , we had no usual workshops in the community. Instead, we created space to get together and do an artistic activity.

This time, we had a special mosaic workshop. Most of people did their own drawing and made pictures with or without help.
Most of the tiles were given to us for the project by various people. We were delighted to have some special hand painted tiles from Mosaic artist, Laura O'hagan. Those colorful tiles were very popular and made the picture all unique.

Now we are transferring the mosaic picture on paving slabs. They still need to be cemented and grouted. Once they are ready, we are going to use them to make a footpath in the community.

Magic show!





Magic Mike from county Kerry came to perform a special magic show in inis house.
We were very excited to see all kinds of magic. Card magic, coin magic , ball magic and a couple other unique magic, etc.
It is quite difficult to describe the show when I don't know how he tricked us! Of course, he is a real magician.
We'd love to invite him again and share his show with more people next time.
