Book Launch and other Summer fun

Well now that my time in Ardmore is coming to an end - apart from the events I'm hosting during the Pattern Festival in July, see homepage - I'm looking forward to the next few months' events, namely:
Launch of Annette Skade's new collection at West Cork Literary Festival:
Annette won the coveted Cork Literary Review Manuscript Competition in 2012, and will launch her beautiful collection, Thimblerig, in Ma Murphy's at 4pm on Saturday July 13th during the the West Cork Literary Festival.  I worked closely with Annette preparing this collection  for publication and we had a great time together, so I'm really looking forward to speaking on behalf of Bradshaw Books at the launch!  All welcome to this event, please do come along if you're at the festival!

My events as part of Ardmore's Pattern Festival 2013, generously supported by Waterford County Council: click here for details and booking info.

Finally, Cork City Council have been generous enough to grant me a bursary to attend the Tyrone Guthrie centre, Annaghmakerrig, in August to work on refining the long piece I received the Arts Council bursary to develop.  Thank you!


PS: my UCC Classes will be open for booking shortly, and this year for the first time I'm introducing an Advanced 'Finding Your Voice' course for students of mine who wish to go on to a more intense development of their work.    Call 021 4904717 for information and to book, and I'll see you in September!
