News in from Brigitte from purlsofcolour of a a big Craft Fair in Belfast this week.

You can contact the girls though their shops. Sounds like a good day out.
I came across this notice today that some of you might be interested in . . . . "I am looking for one sculptor, one print maker, and one painter (all experienced, teaching experience a distinct advantage,) to design and run two consecutive Saturday morning practical (2 x 2.5 hour) workshops each in Dublin 2, from September. Total of 5 hours work per tutor. Fee 250 euro. Please send workshop outline for the 5 hours, samples of your work, CV and cover letter to adriennegeoghegan@gmail.com"
Stag & Deer are looking for photographers whose work has an interest in the home/domestic setting. "We are looking for work that is a meditation on home life and what that may be. The work will be included in a group show entitled “Home” which will be part of the PhotoIreland Festival happening in Dublin during July 2011. The theme for “Home” is built around the domestic and the structure of life within a home; the physical nature of the interior and exterior, human interactions and relations, memories, possessions, etc. Home is many things, banal and everyday but always of the utmost importance. We all experience moments within our individual contexts of home or family, but do not necessarily share them beyond the physical construct of our own household setting. If you are interested in submitting for “Home” then please send 6 examples of work (No larger than 450k), a brief description of the work and a small biography to staganddeer@gmail.com. Please note that the deadline for submissions is Wednesday 20 April 2011. " www.staganddeer.com
