Patina 2 Art Exhibition and Workshops in Greencastle during Regatta
Patina 2 is an art exhibition which brings three artists together to put on a show during Regatta week, Greencastle this August in the Greencastle Community Centre. With textiles, mixed media and paint the theme of the Regatta itself is explored. All are welcome to come and enjoy a visual representation of the sea and its treasure.
There will be two Workshops given by the artists. One in Textiles and the other in Mixed Media. The Artists and their sketch books will be available for any budding local artists to come along to be encouraged by. Stitched, sanded and manufactured small fish items will be on sale in aid of The Seaman’s Mission / LAST.
Patina 2 brings together three artists reunited decades after graduating from Edinburgh College of Art, under the collective name Mosusu.
This second collaborative exhibition marks both a return and a continuation - an exploration shaped by 40 years of individual journeys. In time, their lives have unfolded across continents and callings; travelling and working abroad, teaching, raising families, and building homes. Each path has left its mark, each compass bearing taken has taught them something.
Like the surface of weathered metal or worn wood, Patina 2 reflects the layered richness of lived experience.
These works on show speak of endurance and change - of strength, resilience and a quiet beauty which comes with age. Stories emerge through texture, colour, and form: sometimes bold, sometimes fragile, yet always insistent on being heard. However alongside these deeper resonances lie a shared spirit of play.

Reuniting in Greencastle, County Donegal in August 2026, Mosusu celebrates not only their individual practices but the joy of working together again. There is energy here - of rediscovery, collaboration, and creative freedom. Patina 2 is both a reflection and a renewal: testament to lives fully lived, and to the enduring power of making.
In sharing their experiences the Artists are holding two 3-hour long Workshops open to those interested in exploring their own creative nature. Contact by telephone to secure your place.
