The Sliabh Gearr Granite Symposium opened at the Norman gallery on the Saturday 17th October 2009. It was a beautiful autumn afternoon and a good crowd attended. Jeremy opened the show and Niall Deacon also movingly talked about the conception and the workings of the symposium. Jeremy then led the crowd around all the work and gave a great talk about each piece and each artists also said a few words about their work.

More Photos on Symposia page. Thanks to Jeremy Hill for a great opening, the committee (padriag, Cliona and especially Niall)  for organising the symposium. And not forgetting Anne Deacon for feeding us so well during the symposium.

Just finished a Wedding Present for a Friend of mine who got married in August (I’m a bit late as usual).  I’ve stayed with my fruit/vegatable forms but it is heart shaped as it is a wedding present. The stone is Adnet Limestone, from near Haline, Salzburg.

Following the successful Granite Sculpture Symposium in September all the work will be exhibited at the Norman Gallery at Rathnure, Co. Wexford during the Wexford Opera Festival. Exhibition Opens on Saturday 17th October 2009 at 3.00p. All Welcome.
