About

Irish Award winning Artist, welcomes you to her site

Gloria Perry’s studio is nestled between the Donegal Hills and Rolling Tyrone landscape where she lives with her husband, family and lots of farm animals. These peaceful surroundings inspire her to produce bespoke textile sculptures for home and garden. An experienced Art & Design teacher of almost 30 years Gloria’s energy and enthusiasm for sharing her passion with others is infectious.

Gloria firmly believes that everyone can be creative. Once retired from teaching, the challenge and interest to develop her own creative business was realized when she found a revolutionary textile hardener – internationally recognized, Paverpol. As Paverpol’s sole distributor across Ireland, check out her recent work in her art gallery or her articles on  Lastest News page.

Over the years, Gloria has successfully created, designed and implemented an inspiring range of workshops. Let her take you on your own dream journey to ‘Awaken the artist within YOU’ on one of her interactive workshops on public courses, business programmes, school and government projects or  women’s groups.

Creativity is at the heart of Urney Creations, everything Gloria designs and creates is a truly unique piece of art which is inspirational, personal and has often being called ‘magical’ gifts for  home, office, special occasion or even a gift for yourself or treasured gift voucher  for someone special.

Creativity and Art is in Gloria’s County Tyrone roots with international recognition

This has transported her into a world miles away from the classroom. However Gloria is passionate about sharing her artistic skills and experiences with all you, both creative and non-creative people. She believes that people will forget what you said, forget what you did but people will never forget how you made them feel! She can take you on this creative route, so dare to be different and make new friends along the way.

Award winning and highly recognised internationally, Gloria was awarded a top place out of 26 countries in the International Paverpol Exhibition, Corfu 2011. Gloria is ambitious and dedicated to her development as an artist and continues to develop her skills and industry knowledge with her membership of Craft Council of Ireland, AADE [Association for Art and Design Education], GTCNI [General Teacher’s Council N.Ireland].
