Tá lúcháir orm an t-alt seo a bheith foilsithe i mo theanga dhúchais féin san eagrán is déanaí de Glass Ireland. Is é an chéad cheann i stair an chumainn. Ní aistrítear é agus suíonn sé mar phíosa i measc na n-alt eile go léir. Le huirlisí cosúil le scanadh aistritheoirí ar Google ciallaíonn sé gur féidir aon cheann dár n-alt i dteanga ar bith a aistriú go teanga ar bith agus ligean sé don scríbhneoir iad féin a chur in iúl, ina gcuid féin.
Míle buíochas le Fiona Byrne an teagarthóir, agus Anna Moran cathaoirleach an choiste as an tábhacht a bhaineann leis seo dúinne a labhraíonn Gaeilge chuile lá a aithint.

Irish Arts Review 

Winter edition 2022/ Design section - Lucinda Robertson

 Signature tableware; beakers, wine glasses, jugs and bowls of simple lines in luscious colours echo Lucinda Robertson's Scandinavian training and aesthetic. She is one of a handful independent glassblowers in Ireland and increasingly her practice is becoming more challenging to continue.

 

Online panel discussion

 

Generation co-curator Muireann Charleton chaired panel discussion with exhibition makers, ceramic artist Katharine West, knife maker Hugo Byrne and artist Róisín de Buitléar. Makers discuss the experience of growing up within creative families, reflecting on archival pieces in the exhibition and the legacy of previous generations. The panel highlights the makers life-long immersive experiences in a craft culture, and considers what a future Culture of Making might look like.

Róisín de Buitléar will speak on the Value of Advocacy 

Understanding the impact arts and culture plays on the wider society is critical to shaping and developing arguments in favour of sustained public investment in arts and culture.

In Waterford there has never been a more important time to stimulate debate, work in partnership with the community and share information, so that the benefits of its glassmaking culture are discussed as a mainstream issue.

Driving the development of evidence and research in Waterford of the significance and validity of its glassmaking culture, has been to the fore of Róisín de Buitléar’s practice for the past twenty five years. This presentation will examine how working with local communities, city councils, the Design and Crafts Council and national and international museums have created opportunites for engagement, experience and retelling of histories to advocate for evaluating and driving change for a new future for glass in Ireland  Using a bottom up approach, she will share how society, education, economy, and health can be impacted through valueing current assets.
