About Clare

Clare has 20 years of experience in mosaic art and 15 years in stained glass. She also teaches silk painting, upcycling furniture, jewelry making, and embroidery. Originally from Dublin, she now runs art and craft workshops in Ennis, Co. Clare, for both adults and children.

Her classes are relaxed and student-centered, allowing participants to explore different creative disciplines at their own pace. Some may focus on a single craft, like silk painting, while others try a variety. Clare also runs holiday camps for kids (ages 6-13) with activities like painting, clay modeling, beading, and T-shirt design. She adapts each activity based on age and ability, ensuring an inclusive environment for all children.

A trained Montessori teacher, Clare previously ran her own school in Dublin and has also trained primary teachers in arts and crafts. She is passionate about mosaics and has completed various commissions, including a school anniversary project where every student contributed to the final piece.

Clare has been an active member of Clare Crafts, helping organize local craft fairs and exhibitions. She has showcased her work in the West of Ireland and Dublin.
