  Day of Arts -  Making your own sistrum (30 minutes, mini-workshop)
Day of Arts - Making your own sistrum (30 minutes, mini-workshop)
The sistrum is an ancient, ceremonial instrument used in Egypt and even before that. Plutarch said. “The sistrum makes it clear that all things in existence need to be shaken, or rattled about, and never to cease from motion but, as it were, to be woken up and agitated when they grow drowsy and torpid.” Join in to make this mysterious instrument and take it home with you. *This is an ongoing workshop, from 3pm to 5pm. Creating your sistrum takes around 30mins.*

An Introduction to Abstraction // A weekend workshop with Artist Nuala Clarke
An Introduction to Abstraction // A weekend workshop with Artist Nuala Clarke
## An Introduction to Abstraction // A weekend workshop with Artist Nuala Clarke // Saturday June 28th & Sunday June 29th // 10:00 - 16:00 **BOOK HERE - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/skillsets/2204721** We are delighted to welcome back Artist Nuala Clarke to Flux Studios to teach a weekend painting workshop exploring the world of abstraction. If you have ever had a desire to paint abstractly but don't know how to go about it, this class lays the groundwork with practical exercises in a relaxed, and experimental atmosphere. In this workshop we will take a look at our own preferences, connect to ourselves through the senses and find ways to make non-figurative work infused with personal vision. Abstraction is a means of noting that which has no fixed physical form. Colour, shape, texture and the ineffable can be combined to make an object which expresses that which has no words. Most people have important relationships with colour – we will be taking a deep look at our own preferences. This course is for all levels, no experience of working abstractly or with water based media is necessary. Some materials will be provided, though a small materials list will be sent to each participant. **Course Fee: €270** **Your Tutor:** Nuala Clarke is a visual artist and writer. Born in Dublin, she moved to New York City after attending NCAD. She lived and worked as a painter in NY for 20 years. Her work is exhibited in the US and Europe, is held in many private, public and corporate collections. She is represented by & Claremorris Gallery in Co. Mayo. In 2007, Clarke received a fellowship and residency to The Ballinglen Arts Foundation, in Mayo. This area became the locus of her work and she moved there in 2013. Meanwhile, she began collaborating with Crystal Gandrud. Together they wrote and imaged an artful, irreverent commentary of Atisa’s Lojong Slogans titled Radiating Outwards, Incrementally, A Manual, published in 2024. Clarke has been conducting research into the healing probabilities of abstract art since 2020 prompted by her study of the Irish Natural Philosopher and alchemist Robert Boyle (of Boyles law). She has presented papers at the Robert Boyle Summer School, and was awarded an Irish Arts Council Bursary for experimental research. She was most recently commissioned to honour Robert Boyle with abstract paintings at The John Sterne Library at Trinity Medical School, in Dublin. Her book Irish Moss of a Dead Man’s Skull was published by The Owl Circus in March 2025.

Social Pub Crawl
Social Pub Crawl
**[Early Bird Discount](www.eventbrite.com/e/1987332467909/?discount=Meetup)** ### ✨ What Is the Social Pub Crawl? A relaxed and social pub crawl designed to help people connect naturally while enjoying a night out in Dublin. This is **not a massive party crawl** and not a tourist tour.

Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll quickly feel part of the group. ### 🍻 How It Works We’ll visit several pubs in the city centre, staying around **30–40 minutes in each one**. At every stop, the organizer will run a **short and simple social activity**. These games are designed to: * Break the ice naturally * Help people interact without pressure * Work well in busy, noisy pubs Between activities, there’s plenty of time to chat, grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere. 🏆 In each activity, points are awarded to several participants. At the end of the night, **the 3 people with the most points win a free drink**. ### 🍀 Who Is This Event For? Absolutely everyone. New in Dublin, long-time residents, expats, locals, shy people, outgoing people — all are welcome. You don’t need to drink alcohol, be loud, or be “good at games”. The only requirement is being open to meeting new people in a relaxed way. ### 💬 A Friendly & Comfortable Atmosphere Our events are known for being inclusive, respectful and easy-going. Come alone or with friends — you’ll feel comfortable from the very beginning. To keep the experience social and personal, **spots are limited**. ### 🕕 Practical Details • **Time:** 19:00 – 22:30 • **Group size:** Limited • **Location:** In front of the Odeon!

reviving gardans, Growing community
reviving gardans, Growing community
**Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic** This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of **hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation**. It’s about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there. On the day, we’ll: * Get our **hands dirty** with some light garden work and soil prep * Do some **seed sowing** and talk about what grows well locally * **Make kombucha together** and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices * Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food * Enjoy some **fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic** along the way.Alongside the practical side, we’ll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea: * The possibility of **small community “park farms” or gardens** in underused green spaces around Dublin * What that might look like, what’s realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further There’s no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether you’re experienced with gardening or completely new, you’re very welcome. Bring clothes you don’t mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key. This is just a **first step** — a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if there’s a shared appetite to keep growing something together.
