Sample-Studios, in partnership with Crawford Supported Studios is delighted to present Bríd's Tearoom a solo exhibition by Bríd Heffernan.
Opening Reception: 11:30am-1:30pm, Thursday 5 December. 

 

Bríd Heffernan presents a playful artist’s tearoom, responding to The Lord Mayor's Pavilion’s original function as a reception area for welcoming dignitaries to the Cork International Exhibition of 1903. Bríd’s Tearoom presents cats, hand-made ceramics, and screen printing using pattern and floral motifs with vibrant pops of colour.

Join us in The Lord Mayor's Pavilion, Fitzgerald's Park, Cork City, for the opening reception of Bríd's Tearoom. This exhibition playfully holds the historic function of the building while offering a sense of familiarity and warmth just in time for the Christmas season.
