As a professional mosaicist, I offer engaging insight into the art of mosaic tailored to connect students with the rich heritage of mosaics in Ireland. Where possible, I lead guided tours of local mosaics, and in particular ecclesiastical mosaics sharing their stories and artistic significance. In addition, I bring the history to life in the classroom, offering hands-on insights into traditional materials, techniques, and designs used in the mosaics.
Drawing inspiration from Ireland’s own rich patterns—Celtic knots, medieval motifs, ancient geometric design, patchwork, even patterns in nature, students can discover the cultural connections and artistic legacy mosaics hold. This interactive experience combines creativity, history, and heritage, inspiring a deeper appreciation of mosaic art, and the stories it tells.
