Jeremy Irons on MAKING IN / PLACE Online Seminar

Presented by Joseph Walsh Studio

For the past three years, we have welcomed makers, designers, artists and architects to the Joseph Walsh Studio in County Cork.

On September 12th 2020, for the fourth edition of MAKING IN, the international MAKING IN community convened online for the first time, engaging in a free creative dialogue moderated by Glenn Adamson via ZOOM.

The theme of this year’s seminar was PLACE. Our speakers looked at the theme through the lenses of LANDSCAPE, CITY and WORKSHOP.

Participants included Lord William Burlington, Joe Hogan, Sara Flynn, Jeremy Irons (Hegarty’s Boatyard), Grafton Architects, O’Donnell + Tuomey Architects, Lord David Puttnam, Joseph Walsh and Niall Gaffney.

We are delighted to have continued into 2020, and to have reached new and broader audiences through this global, virtual conversation on Saturday 12th September 2020. We hope you will join us, and enjoy this recording of MAKING IN/ PLACE 2020.

Jeremy’s portion begins at 49:30 into the video:

Jeremy Irons’s “Willing Lass”

Jeremy Irons owns a sailboat named Willing Lass.

From the blog Another Day in Triage by Jayne Johnson:

“Our next stop on the journey was Hegarty Boatyard where Cerri’s partner, John, works. The yard is world famous for the restoration work they do on large wooden ships. People come from around the world to attend workshops at the boatyard. Currently they are working on the Ilen (eye-len). They also work on boats for fisherman and the like.

John personally built a sail boat for Jeremy Irons which is called “Willing Lass.” Yes, THE Jeremy Irons. If you are interested in learning more about the Ilen restoration/Hegarty Boatyard, here’s a link: Ilen Restoration at Hegarty Boatyard in Baltimore, Co. Cork, Ireland
