This is the first venture by The Castlemartyr Resort Hotel in hosting a ceramic exhibition and were delighted to show the wonderful talents of local girl Martha Cashman from Ballymacoda.

Regina Sexton highly praised the creative works on show and talked about the evolution of the implements that aid eating and serving through the history of Irish food that were the inspiration for the artist.

Martha said she wanted to bring her exhibits to the people here in The Castlemartyr Resort Hotel rather than the confines of the gallery which people might find a bit intimidating. Guests, family, friends and art connoisseur’s mingled in the beautiful surroundings and enjoyed the creations that the award winning artist brought to East Cork.
The ceramic exhibition on show from Fri Oct 23rd until Dec. 2009

Loved the razzmatazz of the opening night and decided there and then that I had found where I was going to buy some of my special Christmas presents. I went back a few days ago and had a smashing afternoon at a lovely venue, having a bite to eat, strolling in the grounds and leisurely selecting two pieces which I hope will excite the recipients. It’s nice to be able to support a local artist and acquire a one-off piece at the same time.
Thanks Michael for coming to the exhibition the photos look great, everyone had a great night, its a First for the hotel is great to receive support from local business, the show runs until mid Dec so plenty of time for people to visit the exhibition and enjoy the space..
