The intention is for Tea House to be full of colour and rich in smells, but also familiar &#8211; celebrating the everyday ritual of drinking tea. To realise this the artists and residents worked to create a variety of objects &#8211; including ceramics, hand-printed linens, and flower arrangements &#8211; through workshops, conversations and many shared pots of tea.<\/div>\n<div><br \/><em>&#8220;We are excited to have this fantastic opportunity to collaborate with the staff and residents of St. Joseph\u2019s Day Care Centre. We envisage Tea House as a warm and uniquely personalised space, which celebrates the imperfection of handmade things. Drawing on the \u2018Butterfly Model of Care\u2019 offered by St Joseph\u2019s, Tea House will provide space and time for moments of enchantment and creativity in everyday life, for residents, staff and visitors&#8221;<\/em> \u2013 Fairland Collective.<\/div>\n<div><br \/><strong>The 2018 Age &amp; Opportunity Artist in Residence in a Car Setting was funded by the Arts Council of Ireland.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-sidebar\">\n<div class=\"custom\">\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For information speak to our Arts team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<a href=\"tel:+35318535180\">01 853 5180<\/a><br \/>\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:bridget.deevy@ageandopportunity.ie\">bridget.deevy@ageandopportunity.ie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_735a8ac tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_3 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-1 tb_69002d4 first\">\n                            <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-1 tb_dca2998\">\n                            <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-1 tb_c147ad4 last\">\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_feb649c tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_a34987a first\">\n                    <!-- module template_part -->\n<div  class=\"module module-layout-part tb_b24cc04 \">\n    <div class=\"tb_layout_part_wrap tf_w\"><!--themify_builder_content-->\n    <div  class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-5743 themify_builder not_editable_builder in_the_loop\" data-postid=\"5743\">\n                        <div  data-css_id=\"77dbaa4\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row fullwidth tb_77dbaa4 tf_w hide-mobile\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_d34345b first\">\n        <span  class=\"builder_row_cover tf_abs\" data-lazy=\"1\"><\/span>            <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_ad8128d   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Arts Initiatives:<\/h3>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top gutter-none tb_col_count_2 tb_kmma919\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col4-2 tb_41tk920 first\">\n                    <!-- module feature -->\n<div  class=\"module module-feature tb_7163850 with-chart layout-icon-left size-medium \" data-layout-mobile=\"icon-top\" data-layout-desktop=\"icon-left\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"module-feature-image tf_textc tf_rel\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/ageandopportunity.ie\/arts\/bealtaine-festival\/\">\n                        <span class=\"module-feature-chart-html5 tf_box tf_rel tf_inline_b\">\n                                    <svg class=\"tf_abs tf_w tf_h\">\n                    <circle class=\"tb_feature_fill\" r=\"calc(50% -
