Screening of the short film Maker: Brian Lalor by 10HandsCrafts (20 mins)
Followed by a Gallery Tour by artist Brian Lalor (30 mins)

The event takes place on the occasion of a major retrospective survey exhibition of the work of west Cork-based artist and writer Brian Lalor. Curated by art historian Vera Ryan and including work from the seventies to the present, this exhibition provides an opportunity to explore the breadth of Brian Lalor’s practice over almost six decades and serves as a tribute to his lifelong dedication and contribution to Ireland's cultural heritage. The exhibition primarily showcases Lalor's prowess in printmaking while also featuring publications, drawings, ceramics, photographs, objects, artifacts and audio presentations.

The film is directed by Stephen Agnew and produced by Angela Brady for 10HandsCrafts. Angela is a prominent Irish architect, designer, and broadcaster, who was awarded an OBE in 2015 in recognition of her contribution to architecture and her advocacy work. She has also produced and presented numerous TV programmes and films including for the RTE series Designing Ireland.

10HandsCrafts are a group of Irish based designers who take inspiration from each other to create individual bespoke designed objects that reflect their history, culture and Identity in a contemporary way. 10HandsCrafts have been invited to exhibit in China in October 2024 and this film will also be screened there.

This 10 HandsCrafts film and event is part funded by Design and Crafts Council Ireland and Cork County Council for August Craft Month.
