Féile Clai - mission
statement
Féile Clai
(Festival of Clay)
combines an Irish and a
Welsh word to symbolise the
essence of the project which
will run for three years. It
will bring together
ceramicists from Ireland and
Wales in an exciting new
partnership to develop
events, exchanges and
exhibitions, The
International Ceramics
Festival in Aberystwyth, a
biennal event that attracts
1000 visitors from around
the globe, will be used as a
model to create a parallel
event in Ireland which will
take place in alternate
years. There will be an
exchange programme of
exhibitions and workshops
held in the Intereg region.
The project aims to
encourage equal
opportunities and
environmental sustainability
in ceramics through
discussion forums,
'hands-on' activities and
promotional events.
Féile Clai will create a
new partnership between
Ireland and Wales to promote
the ceramics sector in both
regions. The project will
support new makers and small
ceramic businesses to create
a high standard of work and
to promote this at the best
possible advantage. Feile
Clai events in both regions
aim to provide a combination
of support, guidance and
practical hands on
techniques. Féile Clai will
hold ceramic master classes,
two major ceramic
exhibitions of new work, one
major exhibition from
established makers in
Ireland and Wales and a
ceramic festival in each
respective region.
Féile Clai will be
receiving in total €238,180
in Ireland and as it is a
match funded project we the
Irish partners have to raise
€103,995 over the next three
years. We will be doing this
with the aid of the
Crafts Council of Ireland,
Ceramics Ireland and
Scarva Pottery Supplies.
The following have been
employed by the project,
Who are all contributing
part of their time at match
funding:
Grainne Watts - project
Assistant,
Tina Bryne - Co-ordinator
Laura O'Hagan - Project
Assistant Manager.
