Róisín Gartland: Practice, Process, Collaboration and Commission

Róisin Gartland will also discuss her current research and commissions, explaining how her work transitions from concept to finished piece and how her fine art and design processes merge within her practice. She will address sustainability in relation to her materials and the sustainable nature of her overall practice.

Leather re-purposing workshops have become an ongoing educational feature within Róisín Gartland’s practice, and she will discuss this new facet, which she has been developing with the support of Unit18, Trinity in the Community, at the Trinity East Campus.

Most of the development work takes place in the studio but working on location and facilitating repurposing workshops are other interesting facets of Róisín Gartland's practice.
