My first attempt at crafting the Red Man of Kilbeg, otherwise known as the Ballykean figure, is still a source of shame and disappointment to me. 

Raised Bogs in Ireland preserve a wealth of archaeological sites and artefacts unparalleled anywhere else in the world.

In collaboration with the Heritage Council, Craftsman Mark Griffiths and the IPeAAT team engaged over 400 school children artistically with peatland archaeology for European Archaeology Days 2024.

From January - March 2024, in partnership with the Glucksman Education team, the Irish Peatland Archaeology Across Time project (IPeAAT) helped to creatively engage young people with peatlands.
