Well done to all of our artists this week for working together and putting on a fabulous show for friends and family to enjoy. Give yourselves a big pat on the back it is a fantastic achievement.
We received some great feedback from parents thank you for taking the time to leave your comments in our guest book we appreciate the kind words and support.

"Jacob and Rebecca had a great week. Xpressive Factory is very apt, they expressed themselves so creatively and loved the projects. The exhibition was fabulous, very creative and professional. Thank you and please have more camps!". M. Sheahan



Also a huge THANKS to Joup on the Ballinlough road for generously donating a scrum-diddly-umptious chocolate cake for the opening of our first ever Xpressive Factory Exhibition. It was a delicious treat. www.Joup.org

Jackson Pollock Project

Day three of the Xpressive Factory's Summer Camp and the young artists are learning about Jackson Pollock and his style of expression - action painting!

Check out our short movie and see how the young creators work together towards the final masterpiece. Expressing their emotions as they listen to a piece of The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky. Brilliant!
