WORKSHOP 1
MARITIME SCULPTURE I
Making A Donegal Currach With Sustainable Materials
Artist: Holger Christian Lönze
Venue: Share Arts Centre, Lisnaskea
Dates: Monday 8th to Friday 12th March
Time: 9:30am - 5:00pm (1 hour lunch)
Cost: £10 per day / £40 for all 5 days
A hands on workshop to build a 14ft Dunfanaghy/Donegal style currach
from timber, hazel rods and tarred canvas. We will make the frame for the
currach from white deal and then use locally cut hazel for the ribs. Sawn
stringers will be tied to the ribs with marlin twine, ready for the structure to be covered in canvas and finally coated with tar for water-proofing. We will fit the boat out with oars and - if time is available - a mast and sail. The boat will be built using traditional handtools (provided). Please bring old work clothes and gloves.
