The Blaasification of Waterford Workshops, kindly funded by Creative Waterford/Creative Ireland in 2022.
I facilitated a series of workshops for kids and teenagers in August 2022, enlisting my artist friends Rhys Wallace as workshop collaborator and Erika Tamen as photographer. Held in the People’s Park and Waterford Gallery of Art, we aimed to lightheartedly encourage inclusivity and intersectionality in Waterford City through artistic play and performance. We had SO much fun!
Art and the ability to express creativity should be accessible to everyone; a visual language that can transcend borders, language, and culture clash.
Workshops inspired by my college work,
