The Thursday Club is a weekly art programme. Each session would usually consist of a focused gallery tour, time for tea and a chat, and an art-making session, with materials, supplied. The Thursday Club is currently on pause.
Whether you prefer to look and enjoy, listen or create we invite you to join the Thursday Club online. Develop your existing skills or dip into something completely new.
The Lonradh programme usually takes place in the gallery with a cuppa, it is an arts programme for older adults and their family members.
Lonradh is an Irish word which means to illuminate (it is pronounced Lun-rah). Join artist Gillian Cussen in her garden with this short video with an invitation to join her in looking and enjoying being in the moment.
Artist Regina Carbayo joins us from Spain with a bilingual video. Watch Regina at work creating a tonal study.
Regina says "Seeing values when drawing means identifying the different tones from light to dark. The tonal differences are called ‘values’. I use shading techniques in this video with graphite, pencil and an eraser. I have chosen to work from the sculpture An Strachaire Fir by Joseph Higgins as I find it to be very strong and full of expression. There is a lot of contrast which will help you to easily identify shadows and light”.

What is a Supported Studio?
A supported studio is a sustained creative environment for individuals with specific health or social needs. Supported Studios provide technical artistic support, networks and audiences outside the health and social care settings.
People
Karolina Poplawska and Mairead O’Callaghan work as dedicated studio facilitators. They have developed relationships of trust and deep familiarity with individual artists. Both Karolina and Mairead work to actively identify exhibition, training and development opportunities with studio participants.
Partnership
Crawford Supported Studio exists through partnership with Cork City Council, CIT Crawford College of Art, Crawford Art Gallery and Cope Foundation. Most recently we have collaborated with the School of Visual Arts New York, Atypical University Belfast, Cork Printmakers and ADI Ireland.
Yvonne Condon exhibited her work in the University of Atypical Gallery, Belfast.
