Bord na Mona Lough Boora workshop memories

Sculpture in the Parklands developed through the collaboration of artists and Bord na Mona. The park would not exist without the vision of the artists and the skills of Bord na Mona craftsmen who took the ideas presented and worked with the artists to create large scale sculpture installations. Important Bord na Mona employees including Seamus Barron and Don O'Boyle were always ready for an artistic challenge! 

Sadly the workshop has closed down and this photomontage is a short tribute to the lads. For those inspired by industrial workshops, the BnM workshop in Boora was truly an adventure every time you stepped into it! Big thank you to all the BnM craftsmen who worked with us from 2002 until 2010.
