Visual Art (including sculpture, print, painting, photography, ceramics etc)

Completed the B.A. (Hons) Animation & Motion Design course in Limerick School of Art and Design (2016). A self-motivated practitioner with a passion for the more traditional forms of animation, particularly stop frame animation. Over the years I have been developing my skills as a stop-motion animator and model maker.  

In 2019 I was presented with the opportunity to facilitate Stop Motion Animation workshops through the Artist in Primary Schools scheme. Since then, I've worked with several schools, youth centres and other organizations. 

For as long as I can remember, I have had a love of Art. As a child, I always had a pencil and paper to hand and spent hours doodling away drawing varied subjects from flowers to cartoon characters and everything in between. My first memory of painting was in Sixth Class in Primary School when our Principal introduced us to painting lessons. 

My name is Rose Hanley from 'I Love Getting Crafty'. Being a craft artist is a way of life for me, I have 25 years experience of being a maker and teacher. I make willow garden arbours & fencing, I paint murals, and I sew and print on fabric. 

There are 3 parts to my business.
