Tipperary sculptor to visit Cashel Library

Go Stone Mad

Tipperary artisan thrives on making masterpieces out of nothing

Tipperary sculptor Philip Quinn

 Go “Stone Mad” with Philip Quinn is an event that will be held at the Cashel Library on Friday March 8 at 2pm.

Philip Quinn is a sculptor, living and working in Tipperary.  He mainly works in stone, wood, bronze and found objects.  In this workshop you will make stone pendants or “Worry Stones” using limestone and marble – black, white or red.

The pendants can be bound using copper wire from the spent motors of old angle-grinders and drills - so the finished     pieces will be very sustainable.  The pendants and Worry Stones will be sanded and polished, and can be etched with Rune or other symbols.
