Those are the details...but I was up there today to look at preparations...it is going to be amazing..much of the structure is in place. The contributions of Signal Artists are as follows: there will be a huge painting at the back of the altar by Noel Cleary, fabulous drawings by Aoife Fotzgerald, terrific ceramic installation by Frances Brosan and a visual research art work involving the names of the WW1 fallen from the Bray Memorial on the Quinsboro Road by Pat Burns. There are other works including huge white crosses throughout the pews, a "keep the home fires burning" installation, trenches, fabulous flower arrangements and more ....it will really be a treat for the whole family and brings history alive.

DRYPOINT, ETCHING AND CHINE COLLE PRINTMAKING WORKSHOP AT THE CENTRE FOR CREATIVE PRACTICES
CENTRE FOR CREATIVE PRACTICES
15 Pembroke Street Lower, Dublin
Saturday, Oct 22 2011 11:00 AM
Tutor Debora Ando
This is a workshop where participants will make their original prints through the medium of drypoint, etching and chine colle.
Chine colle roughly translates from French, chine = tissue and collé meaning glue or paste. "Chine" because the thin paper traditionally used in the process was imported to Europe from China, India and/or Japan.
Participants will create their images on perspex (acetate), copper and aluminium exploring drypoint and etching processes to make incisions on the surface of plates. A whole range of tools will be available such as roulettes, drypoints of differents types and burin.
The printing process then will include not only the etching paper but also the lightweight paper (as the Asian papers are referred to). This paper (usually colorful, texturized and of the same size of the plate) will be placed between the plate and the etching paper resulting in a beautiful and accomplished chine colle.
No previous experience or skills required as tutor will provide full assistance throughout the workshop. Recommended for teenagers and adults.
Debora Ando is a Brazilian artist based in Dublin since 2006. She studied in University of Sao Paulo where she got a degree in Fine Arts. Ando is currently finishing her MA in Visual Arts Practice with IADT, Dublin.

Ando has exhibited in Brazil, England, United States, Ireland, Wales, France and Poland.

SIGNAL ARTS CENTRE AT POWERSCOURT ENNISKERRY OCTOBER 2, 2011
Powerscourt extended an invitation to Signal Arts Centre to display works of art at their 50th Anniversary Celebrations on October 2. A number of artists responded to the call. Here are some photos of that exciting day. Thanks go to Claire Flood who supervised the whole event with plenty of help from Signal staff. A lot of effort goes into setting up an event like this. Love the new Signal sign.
CRIO8 EXHIBITION - CULTURE NIGHT SEPT 23 - A FABULOUS SUCCESS!!!
WHAT A NIGHT!!! The wonderful listed building St. Cronan's opposite the Mermaid slated to become a hotel but now lying derelict was transformed into a museum of modern art. A group of 30 contemporary artists from Bray came together and created a strong, forceful, stimulating and provoking show of work. The exhibition planned to coincide with Culture Night, opened early on the Wednesday and closed on Sunday.
It was an amazing show as many of the artists responded to the paint peeling walls and little rooms and large rooms with ornate fixtures and dark places and long abandoned office fixtures. Could we have a repeat please?
Here are a few photos if anyone has more please send to me immediately.
