This commission to design and make Player of the Series trophies for the Inter-Provincial Cup ,and Inter-Provincial Trophy, and Inter-Provincial Championship, was part of Hanley Energy's sponsorship of the Series run by Cricket Ireland. The design using bronze, acrylic stainless steel and 3 species of native Irish hardwoods, Yew, Elm and Spanish Chestnut were chosen to show sustainability as a key force in this sponsorship. They have a stainless steel sphere as the centre-piece with a swirl of bronze to emphasise the spin on the ball, key to cricket. The Series has been running all summer with the final match taking place next week, more information can be found here.

The Dóchas International Development Awards

5/6/2016

Yesterday on May the 5th, the Dóchas Annual Conference took place in Croke Park Conference Centre. The ceremony, a gathering of international and domestic NGOs, government representatives, environmental groups, activists, civil society and private sector organisations, began with a keynote speech from President Michael D. Higgins and other leaders in international development. We produced a perpetual award for Global Citizen of the Year which was awarded to Colette Nkunda and an Innovative Programme of the Year award which was given to Camara Education. These handmade awards consisted of a stained ash base with a stainless steel name plate and a hammered and torched copper triangular plate. This design champions people who go through a lot of difficulty to achieve their goals, the torched and hammered acknowledged their persistence through difficulty. Have a look at this quick video of us producing the copper sails.

On the 29th of January, the Ireland eGovernment awards took place in Dublin Castle. These awards honour the work of public sector teams who deliver better online services to Irish citizens, with a whole range of categories from Irish Language to Promoting Ireland Overseas to Social Media. 

We delivered the awards at the end of January, 10 category trophies and 2 overall trophies. The main awards consisted of a polished brass body on an acrylic base, with the two larger awards having an additional base of painted black ash. 

We were happy to make these awards again this year, thanks to Irene Dehaene and Elucidate.ie, and delighted that the winners enjoyed their trophies.

Sister Imelda Carew "Challenge for Change" Trophy

1/22/2016

0 Comments

 
We have just released the Sister Imelda Carew Perpetual Trophy to the Carew family which will be a "Challenge for Change" environmental schools competition in honour of Sr Imelda Carew, who drowned tragically off Inch Strand, Co.Kerry with a colleague in August 2014. Sr Imelda, a Presentation Sister and teacher, devoted a lot of her time to justice ministry across Ireland and around the world. Her family in response to the tragedy initiated this project to create a trophy using ancient black bog oak, possibly thousands of years old, from the Carew family farm in Tipperary. Sr Imelda's niece Helen Carew approached Shane on behalf of the family to help implement the final design. The final design uses the sculpted bog oak, a brushed brass, quartz and acrylic plinth. 

Shane who knows the family, hopes "the competition for this "Challenge for Change" will serve her memory well and create a focus for secondary school children to investigate social and environmental challenges into the future."

The bog oak was one of the most dense materials we have ever worked on in the workshop. Helen had done the initial sculpting and we finished it for her.
