Memories of Crumlin

St Mary’s parish, Crumlin, has announced the launch of a new art project to capture the memories and stories of St Mary’s parishioners.  The project is being  supported by a grant from Dublin City Council’s Neighbourhood/Voluntary Arts Scheme and by Ulster University. Dublin City Council Historian in Residence, Cathy Scuffil, will launch the new art project on Thursday at 8pm in the parish church. As part of the launch, Cathy will give a talk on one of her great passions: Dolphin’s Barn bricks – St Mary’s church is the last building to have been constructed with these local bricks.

The aim of St Mary’s new art project is to create panels reflecting life in the parish over the years. Starting this month, ceramicist and Ulster University lecturer, Michael Moore, will work with parishioners old and young, of long–standing and new to the parish, to gather information and memories and support the creation of works in clay that tell those stories. This approach mirrors one taken at the time of the building of St Mary’s. The pulpit is decorated with small carvings which reflect life in the parish at that time. There will be an exhibition of the finished ceramic panels created by the parishioners and Michael at the end of the year.  

If you would like more information about the art project or, as a past or potential future parishioner of St Mary’s, like to get involved in the project, please contact the Revd Ruth Noble bye email at crumlinandchapelizod@gmail.com or phone 087 052 3450.
