PAVERPOL

While Finn Valley Cottages are located in the rugged wiles of the North of Ireland, there are plenty of activities to partake in that don’t require you venturing into the great outdoors.

Finn Valley Cottages has a partnership with Urney Creations operated by Gloria Perry who specialises in paverpol. For those who enjoy arts and crafts, this is a perfect opportunity to pick up a new skill in sculpture.

Paverpol is an environmentally friendly fluid that can be used to manipulate fabric. Making the textile rock hard, it is white when it is placed on it but dries transparent within a few hours. The final hardening process takes place between the first and second weeks, depending on the temperature. Uniquely, Paverpol artwork is weather resistant after hardening completely withstanding the worst of Irish weather and beyond.
A former art teacher, Gloria Perry is passionate about creativity and encouraging people to experiment with Paverpol. Gloria’s workshops are relaxed, yet structured, and are designed to awake the artist within. These interactive workshops are perfect for families and for team building days for smaller companies.
Her incredible Paverpol have won critical acclaim throughout the world and local councils often take items from Urney Creations as gifts for trade missions. To add to these accolades, Gloria annually exhibits in Dublin.
With creativity being at the very core of Urney Creations, Gloria’s designs are unique pieces of art. By taking one of Gloria’s creative courses, you too can learn how to create your own art. What are you waiting for? Unlock your creativity.
