Each artist had the freedom to express themselves by creating an artwork on the canvas. Each bodhrán is handmade using canvas for decoration purposes only and has a diameter of 18”.

All bodhrán’s are for sale via silent auction which is now live and closes on Friday 30th August at 5p.m. Highest bid secures sale.
