May 19 2022: "People are flocking to see a new art exhibition 'Life Goes On' Newbridge marking the centenary of the withdrawal of the British army from Kildare." Take a virtual tour of the exhibition, with many thanks to Conor Forrest of The Kildare Nationalist.
When shoe lasts and receipts for purchases of leather belonging to Newbridge cobblers, the Sheehan Brothers, were discovered by Ceramicist Eleanor Swan, the seeds of an idea for an exciting new collaboration were planted. The lasts had been used to make shoes and boots for British Troops stationed in County Kildare up until their withdrawal in 1922, and Eleanor repurposed them to make slip cast moulds for a new sculpture. See it at 'Life Goes On'!
