Irish artist Bettina Norton works from a home studio near the artistic village of Thomastown in South Kilkenny. The landscape, seascape and large wave paintings draw inspiration from the beautiful unique Irish coast. The power of the sea, the sound of the waves whispering over the sand and pebbles along the shore, the smell of the salty sea, are all reflected within her beautiful works.
Bettina works in various media from acrylic to high intensity inks, then layering with oil glazes or oil and cold wax, the work is intuitive, interpreting aspects of landscape as expression of form and movement.
Bettina joined the Tudor Artisan Hub Summer 2018 and her beautiful work is highly sought after.
For the live pop-up art demonstration, Bettina will walk you through her oil and cold wax techniques.
Saturday November 2nd - from 10:30AM-12:30PM
Stephen Power is a self-taught artist from Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary and has been a member of the Tudor Artisan Hub since April 2016.
Stephen's art style can be described as Abstract Expressionism.
Stephen has Spina bifida, his disability, his passion for music, and his love of nature have been the principal driving forces in the path of the subject matter in his artwork. He finds the freedom to express himself without limitations by creating abstract art with acrylics.
At the pop-up demonstration, Stephen will talk us through his art journey and his unique art processes.
Saturday November 9th, 2024 - from 10:30AM -12:30PM
Athenamade 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. Athena creates many of her art pieces from found sea treasures - each pebble, shell or piece of sea pottery collected, many from beaches in Waterford and Wexford, are sourced for projects she has in mind. Athena has a lot of strings to her bow!
At Christmas our customers keep Athena very busy with gorgeous personalised bespoke decorations for Teachers, Family and Friends.
The pop-up art demonstration will be an ideal time to meet Athena in person, view her latest collections and place your bespoke orders.
