'Lust for Life' Exhibition @ Carrick-on-Suir Library - Bealtaine Event
2024-05-15 | Carrick-On-Suir Library, E32 X860
Haywood Lodge residents (ages 60+) and the nursing staff in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary are over the moon to be taking part in the national Bealtaine Festival 2024, which is themed ‘Lust for Life’.
We took full advantage of it being the 40th anniversary of the Punk revolution and let our inner rebels loose. No t-shirts or furniture were spared as we dyed, pinned and ripped our passion out. We had fun and reminisced on a time we knew about and read about but being in rural Ireland – we really didn’t get to play a true part in this culture… until now!
So please come to Carrick-on-Suir Library and see the work of the artists of Haywood Lodge, Clonmel from May 1st until May 17th.
No booking required – however due to the large number of events happening during May please phone ahead on 051-640591 to ensure viewing is possible.

Artist Inseun Kim, who has experience teaching fine art in Korea and also works as a tutor with STAG (Clonmel), will be our teacher. She says applying colour to silk can be regarded as a kind of art therapy based on the depth of colour created by the proper harmony of water and dyes and the tranquility brought by the harmony of the two materials.
The art classes are suitable for complete beginners and all materials will be supplied. The finished works will be displayed in the library during the last week of May.
