THE BUTTERFLY PROJECT     |      TUNDE TOTH

Take a creative part in this project, contribute to the ongoing, gradually growing installation by making striking, colourful butterflies!!

29 - 31 July 2013:

Fennelly`s, Callan, Co. Kilkenny - ABHAINN RI FESTIVAL

The BUTTERFLY PROJECT is an Interactive Installation Project - developed by visual artist TUNDE TOTH.

Inspired by workshops facilitated as part of the National Drawing Day events at the Butler Gallery in Kilkenny City in 2013, this programme is designed to take these workshops to a different level creating an ongoing, interactive, inclusive, participatory project `moving` between two venues and featured in two arts festivals in Co. Kilkenny. The project started at The Abhainn Ri Festival in Callan in July and continues at Tunde`s temporary exhibition space in Thomastown during the 40^th Kilkenny Arts Festival.

Visitors and workshop participants are invited to contribute to the large scale, ongoing indoor/outdoor installation by making striking, colourful butterflies – using traditional Origami techniques, contemporary Silk Fibre Papermaking processes and plaster cloth sculpting/modelling.

CALLAN Programme - Phase 1:

29th - 30th - 31st July (Mon-Tues-Wed): 1 - 4pm

This programme is not a workshop schedule, it is run on a `drop-in, drop-out` basis through each afternoon. Visitors are invited to participate and add their own creations to the installation. 

Origami: € 5 per person

Silk Fibre Papermaking: € 9 per person - including materials and your own small butterfly to take with you.

THOMASTOWN Programme - Phase 2 - WORKSHOPS:

6^th – 7^th – 8^th August (Tues-Wed-Thurs):  11am – 1pm

12^th – 13^th – 14^th August (Mon – Tues – Wed):  11am – 1pm

€ 15 per participant per day, including all materials and your own unique butterfly to take with you!
