Healthy attendances at weekly art group sessions in Tipperary

Attendance at the South Tipperary Art Group (STAG) has been brilliant over the last number of weeks, both on Tuesday nights in the Infant School, Ss Peter and Paul’s and on Wednesday mornings in the studio upstairs in the South Tipperary Arts Centre. It’s hoped this will continue.

Paintings by adult members of STAG are always available to purchase by contacting the Organiser Maureen Purcell at 086- 8096823. Much of the artwork can be viewed in The Showgrounds, in Befani’s Restaurant and in the exhibition area at the Outpatient’s Corridor, Tipperary University Hospital, as well as many more that are in storage.

Congrats to Dylon, adult STAG member, who has sold her fabulous Eagle painting from The Showgrounds, and also to Miriam and Anthony who sold paintings of Carey’s Castle and Phil Carroll’s pub respectively.

All the seniors in Junior STAG are making epoxy resin coasters with Nataliia Verhovna and papier maché animals with Annamarie Cunningham at the moment, thanks to the financial support from the Tipperary Arts Office under the Arts Act Grant Scheme, for which the group is most grateful.

The very lively primary group are making storyboards for their Monsters Animation course with Bobby and Patricia on Saturday mornings. Junior STAG is now full but names of children (ages 9 years to Leaving Certs) can be taken for the next winter session, which will commence mid-January.
