Description

Muine Bheag Arts is pleased to host a screenprinting workshop by Emily Mc Gardle as part of COMMUNE. Learn basic screenprinting techniques and experiment with drawing to create a unique artwork inspired by local proverbs, plants and herbal cures. Materials will be provided.

Emily Mc Gardle is a printmaker from Co. Monaghan. Her practice consists primarily of screen printing and drawing. Using hand-drawn artwork, she creates multilayered screenprints that combine humour, satire and parody. She graduated from Dublin Institute of Technology in 2016 with a First-Class Honours degree in Fine Art and received an MA in Print from the Royal College of Art, London in 2020. Emily was shortlisted for the 2022 Zurich Portrait Prize, the 2023 and 2024 Trinity Buoy Wharf Working Drawing Award and the 2024 Derwent Art Prize, and the 2024 AIB Portrait Prize where she received a Highly Commended Award. She is a member of Black Church Print Studio, Dublin. During COMMUNE Emily will facilitate a workshop using screenprinting and drawing to explore storytelling and local folklore.

Muine Bheag Arts is pleased to present COMMUNE from 15th – 25th August 2025. Taking place in and around the Muine Bheag Community Centre, the programme unfolds as a collection of live events, workshops and public interventions.

COMMUNE is a site for assembling and disseminating ideas, emerging from a central studio and gathering space shared by artists, community groups, collaborators and graduates-in-residence. COMMUNE can be understood as a series of small collective actions and gestures which reach towards systems of support and connection.

COMMUNE is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, Carlow Arts Office, Creative Ireland Carlow and Bagenalstown Creative Places
