I love to spend time with craft workers and to enjoy their creativity. Recently I met a few great crafty people in Co. Tipperary and I though some of them had to be shared.
Johnny McCarthy Woodturning Working in the craft of Woodturning gives me great joy. To be the first to see the grain pattern emerge from beneath the gouge, to experience the unique colour, smell and feel of each different species of wood, from the sweetness of the Ash to the mystique of the Yew. See more of Johnny work at http://johnnymccarthywoodturning.com | Claire Molloy Ceramics. Claire uses hair from her own horses to create her horse hair pottery. She places this hair on a hot pot where it dances on the surface and eventually the carbon burns into the surface leaving beautiful black lines. Due to this process all her pieces are completely unique as the same pattern can never be repeated twice. See Claire's great website at http://www.clairemolloyceramics.com/ |
