24th October 2017 - Blog Catchup!

Following our lightning Tempus ALIGN peer review panel visit to MSPU in Moskva, Katy and I had the National Famine Commemoration in the Warhouse, Ballingarry on Saturday 30th September. Childrens' work from Katy's school projects and my short film 'A Great Silence' were both screened on the ceremony's very impressive bigscreen, Katy's low-relief collages were displayed in the marquee and we were given a big shout out in Minister Heather Humphrey's speech!
