'); Renowned Kilkenny goldsmiths will feature in Samhlú, a new cultural partnership between TG4 and the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media’s Creative Ireland Programme. Samhlú - Croí Cruthaitheach. This season of twelve commissioned abstract short-films featuring artists and creatives is the second phase of the cultural project is available to watch on the TG4 player. The short films are a visual and audio experience depicting the artistic process of some of Ireland's hidden creatives. These are our unique and vibrant artists, makers and doers, based in our towns, our villages throughout Ireland. Through these films, the viewer will gain a new and detailed perspective on how the artist prepares and develops their work in an intimate stylised form. Among the creatives featured are Kilkenny goldsmiths James Mary and Neill Kelly. From their forge in the shadow of Kilkenny Castle these specialist Goldsmiths are at work creating bespoke custom-made jewellery by cold forged hand fabrication. James Mary’s interest was sparked after a school trip to Kilkenny Design where he was very impressed with the metal works on site. After approaching the workshop manager to ask for a job James Mary was successful. He was later offered a goldsmith scholarship to Germany which James Mary says was invaluable.
