Seaweed expert and author of Irish Seaweed Kitchen, Dr Prannie Rhatigan is joining Daragh Muldowney’s of Dúlra Photography to speak at his photographic exhibition of rock pools called ‘Jewellery Box – Ireland’s Hidden Gems’, at The Back Loft Gallery - Cathedral Studios, St Augustine Street, Dublin 8 on Thursday 18th November starting at 7pm.
Dr. Prannie Rhatigan will be giving a presentation entitled ‘Seaweed Secrets from the Rock Pools’ demonstrating Ireland’s rich heritage of seaweeds and their nutritional values. She will reveal how seaweeds can be used in everyday cooking and more, where samples and treats using recipes from her cookbook will be available during the evening.
The exhibition will run for from the 10th – 21st of November. Jewellery Box – Ireland’s Hidden Gems exhibition is a collection of over forty photographs focusing on the elements of nature found in rock pools all around the coast of Ireland, in the shape of periwinkles, anemones, urchins and seaweeds of all types. Each photograph shows the colours, textures and patterns reflecting the variation of the landscape, geology and life of our vast coastline, capturing the elements as they present themselves naturally or as an abstract wonder without the use of artificial light or filters.
Signed copies of the newly published book also entitled Jewellery Box – Ireland’s Hidden Gems, are available to purchase at the exhibition for €19.95 each.
Books can also be ordered on line at www.dulraphotography.com
