Beschreibung
Im an Artist and craft worker and live in Ballyferriter just outside dingle town , I live on my own for part of the week and have teenage kids who come visit a few times a week ..I live in the house that I built myself which has plenty of room and anyone who stays has their own private space .......I have some helpers that do a few days a week to help me with my art ........Alisa from russia was with us last year and she loved it here ( she is coming back this year she learnt Irish which is quite amazing) and that's how I found out about workaway ...I have a large studio where the art magic happens and create all my work from recycled materials ....if you look at my profile photos you will see Misha she is staying at present and also loves the work I encourage all who come to create some art that they can take home
If you have any other questions please ask and I will try and answer
But please not to many emails
I am very busy

His place and artwork are really special and inspiring, and the Dingle peninsula is of overwhelming beauty! However, everybody considering to go there should be aware of the area being pretty remote, there is no public transport at all; the next village, Ballyferriter, is a 20min walk… read more

My stay with Ken has been absolutely life-changing. I had planned initially to stop in Ballyferriter for a month and then move on to Bantry on the south coast, but then, having found that the work and the community suited me so well, I decided to revise my itinerary and remain here as long as I was able- first until mid-July, when I was… read more

Ken certainly has a piece of paradise, tucked away on the edge of Ballyferriter. I had the pleasure of being there and working with him and another volunteer for three weeks. If you get the opportunity to work with him - do it!!!! The work load was pretty relaxed but there's always something to be done, so it definitely depends on you. This place… read more
