Another mosaic is placed

The latest of what will be five mosaics placed around Kilcullen has been installed at Scoil Bhride (above), writes Brian Byrne. It joins two others located at Main Street and Kilcullen Community Centre (below). 

The artworks are the result of a Thornton Lace project undertaken at the Bridge Camphill Community under the Brigid 1500 initiative.

They are being produced by artist Katy Palmieri, who says they are designed as abstract in form and ‘play with colour and energy’. The development of the project included four workshops held at Bridge Camphill which included participants from Scoil Bhride and CPC.  The events considered various aspects of the Thornton Lace social enterprise project in the 19th century established for Famine relief by a local rector’s wife in Kilcullen and which at its height provided work for up to 700 women in the area. 

The project is supported by a grant from Kildare County Council.
