Well done to the 2nd year Art groups who developed their drawing skills this week by doing colour studies of peppers. They used photography and observational drawing, and got some excellent results! @Kingswoodcc16

So honoured to have President Higgins view our glass quilt today! This piece, created by myself and other members of the @GlassSocietyIre, is currently on display in Áras an Uachtaráin. We created it during the lockdown as part of the @DCCIreland Keep Well Campaign @Kingswoodcc16

[President of Ireland @PresidentIRL]

President Higgins received members of the @GlassSocietyIre in Áras an Uachtaráin to view the installation of their Glass Quilt, entitled ‘A Breath of Fresh Air’, in the State Dining Room.

@MoyleParkArt @Kingswoodcc16 @GlassSocietyIre Thanks so much!! I fired them straight up to 800 degrees C. The problem is the glass though, you can’t just use any glass, it has to be the same type / compatible, or it will crack and break. I make fused glass wall pieces myself so I took the scraps into school for this!

[Oide Sarah Mc @Oide_SarahMc]

TYs finished their Stained Glass module last week with some fused glass! First time trying it in our kiln, and it worked! 🎉 They then attached fittings to make some beautiful jewellery. We might have some future designers in our midst @Kingswoodcc16 @GlassSocietyIre #ddletb

[Oide Sarah Mc @Oide_SarahMc]

Halloween isn’t over in the Art room here in @Kingswoodcc16, as 2nd years design and construct horror themed masks! Can’t wait to see the finished results.
