Redwood/Oak, vessel up to 66 inches high, for Ice House Hill Park, Dundalk, Co. Louth.

The title was inspired by a circular Stone walled area of the same name at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Students would sit and chat during breaks.

The five vessels are cut in such a way that the citizens of Dundalk can come and sit in them. They can relax and chat, or sit back and meditate as the mood takes them.
