Robert Shaw – Born in Dublin – 1964   robertshaw.ie

Shaw trained at the Dun Laoghaire School of Art and Design in the late nineteen eighties. He is native of Malahide, a coastal village north of Dublin city. Shaw’s studio was for nine years situated high on the most easterly point of Howth head.

From here he was inspired by the land and seascapes that stretch as far as the mountains of Mourne in the north, to the coast of Wales in the east. His work is also strongly influenced by the rich historical and spiritual heritage of the north Leinster coastline. Today he paints at his studio in Donabate and on the nearby beaches and shores.

A PIZZA ‘TRAD is the new Trad ‘n Chips! A big thank you to Pipers for all the years of Trad ‘n Chips, this year though we are moving up the coast just a little bit to The Brook, our new venue for dancing and music and to savour a new culinary delight! Don’t worry though the Cois Farraige Ceili Band are back again this year to bring some stability but hopefully no lack of movement on the road to young and not so young, experienced and not so experienced or like me with two left feet. Hope to see you all there.

Good news for local film enthusiasts,  Donabate-Portrane is going to the movies with it’s very own cinema club.

Lambay Cinema Club is non-profit and run entirely by volunteers. Our mission is to give local audiences the chance to see a range of world cinema not usually available on commercial cinema screens.
We are a new venture on the Peninsula partnering with The Bleeding Pig Cultural Festival.  The brain child of Larry Carolan and Breda Maguire, we hope to bring the best of International Cinema to Donabate and Portrane.
Tell your friends and bring one or two along to our monthly screenings – we won’t exist without your support.

We will soon announce details of our scheduled screenings for the coming months so follow us on our Instagram and Facebook pages

Go Fly Your Kite.

Our in person workshops provide a great opportunity to learn, be creative and imaginative whether designing your own kite freehand or tracing a graphic onto a kite. We will discuss the arrangements well in advance with the coordinator. We normally set up 1 hour before your workshop time. We will require adequate space, shelter if outside, and the use of trestle style tables. The workshop can focus on a particular theme that can be suitable for the relevant age range. If the workshop is taking place indoors the use of trestle style tables may not be necessary as floor space can be used if suitable. The In person workshops allow us the opportunity to fly the kites with the participants, weather and location permitting.
