Athena Made creator Athena Brownrigg is a self taught mixed media artist and crafter, who joined the Tudor Artisan Hub in late 2015.
Working from her home studio on the Carlow Kilkenny border, Athena's heart and soul goes into creating every art piece. Each pebble, shell or piece of sea pottery collected, many from beaches in Waterford and Wexford, are sourced for projects she has in mind. You can tell that Athena has so much fun creating and involving her children in the hunt for treasure.
'The sea throws up these treasures, worn smooth by the waves. Be it a pebble, shell, piece of sea pottery or glass, I love the uniqueness and mystery of each one'...Athena
In the downstairs gallery spaces, in the middle room we showcase a collection of Athena's bespoke framed pebble artwork among other beautiful offerings such as handmade jewellery, greeting cards, positive pebbles and homewares including seasonal decorations.
Athena accepts commissions for personalised pieces for all occasions. She continually wows customers with her unique uplifting artwork, attention to detail and quotes from the heart.
