Frances Lambe exhibits in Chicago, Kilkenny and Finland!
Frances Lambe will be taking part in Chicago's Annual Exposition of Sculpture, Objects & Functional Art (SOFA) taking place from the 7th to the 9th of November this year. SOFA is a key international event for contemporary craft and applied art. Last year a record 35,000 people visited Navy Pier to see work by some of the world's most important dealers and galleries. This is the third year running that the Crafts Council of Ireland has attended the event and 2008 promises to be another impressive outing, with 23 of our leading craftspeople showcasing their work. 2006 and 2007 saw some of our artists gain international representation while others saw their work added to major American collections. Frances will be giving a slide show and demonstration at The Irish Cultural Centre in Chicago during her visit.
Frances also exhibited, demonstrated and presented a slide show at the Annual Ceramics Ireland International Festival, which took place during the weekend of September 4th to 6th in Thomastown, Co. Kilkenny.
Frances took part in Sculpture in Context 08 at The National Botanic Gardens in Dublin.
She has also been invited to exhibit in Finland over the next few weeks!
