HOLLY MULLARKEY
Ceramic Artist
Healing Clay
Materials: porcelain, infant garments
Artist in the Community Scheme, 2024
Holly Mullarkey initiated and facilitated the Healing Clay workshop, inviting participants affected by the history of the Tuam Mother and Baby Home to create porcelain art works.
This project was held in the Linenhall Arts Centre, Castlebar, supported by The Arts Council’s Artist in the Community Scheme, managed by Create and Mayo County Council, and facilitated by the PRO of the Tuam Mother and Baby Alliance, Breeda Murphy.
Described as ‘an opening-up and gentle healing through clay, through memory, through openness, through the welcoming of a hidden story’, Holly's workshop looked to ‘share story, share grief, share in the strength of the communal’.
