Teenage Creatives - Punch Needle Workshop
With artist Asha Murray
Session 1 - Crinniú na nÓg 2025
11.30am-12.30pm
If you are enjoying a stimulating creative life and want to get closer to the lives and work of young artist professionals then this workshop is for you.
Recently graduated artist, Asha Murray, whose textile work The Plastic Shopping Bag has just been acquired to the Collection at Highlanes Gallery presents the first of two workshops reflecting one of two material strands of her work, in this one the craft of tufting.
With all materials supplied you just need to bring yourself and the things that may interest you - drawing, painting, music, digital art, character making, film making, and then work with Asha to creat your own tufted artwork.
In this immersive workshop you can work solo but connect through a shared interest in visual art and creativity.
Please note, this session is followed by another session that may interest you also - where Asha explores filmmaking using the tufted works that you have just made.
Pack a snack for the break!
NOTE:
Teenagers and parents, this workshop is free so that there are no financial barriers to access. If you book and find in the days leading up to or morning of the workhop that you cannot attend we would ask you to email info@highlanes.ie so that we can release your place.
Age Guideline: 12-18 years
Asha Murray is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Ireland. Asha creates experimental films in tandem with wool-tufted sculptures depicting everyday-in-between-moments, alongside the mundane objects we disregard. Concepts of memory, nostalgia, melancholy and consumption are all interwoven throughout her film and textiles.
