Hi Everyone The shop is closing down over the next month or so. But The Muddle will continue. Any classes booked in for July and August will go ahead. Vouchers can be redeemed in the sale or at a later stage online at www.themuddle.ie We will still be teaching all our arts and crafts but in different venues.

Upcoming Needle felting landscape courses at The Muddle

Talk: Launch ships and burn towers: Beatrice Elvery and Patrick Pearse

 It explores the fascinating relationship between Patrick Pearse and the artist Beatrice Elvery. 
Several of Elvery’s paintings hung in Pearse’s school, Scoil Éanna and she also illustrated Pearse’s book, ‘Íosagán agus Scealta Éile’. The talk will also look more generally at the central role which art played in Pearse’s innovative and experimental school. 
Hopefully these stories will inspire you and be just what you need to get your creative juices flowing and help you beat the January blues. The talk will also look at aspects of the history of early 20th century Irish stained glass and will help you in finalising your ideas towards submission for Keep Well Felt with Us Felt Stained Glass Exhibition scheduled for launch in Pearse Museum in April. The Pearse Museum and St. Enda’s Park are managed and run by the OPW.

This event can be booked on Eventbrite:
