A day of free creativity! Ireland is only country in the world to have a national day of free creativity for children and young people. To celebrate Cruinnú na nOg this year, the winning piece from The Leitrim Design House National Design, Craft Art Award 2023, ‘Estuary’, serves as the inspiration for our interactive drop-in workshop. Young people will create their own simple, map-based artwork. You'll have the chance to learn about Tracy’s creative process and observe the artist as she produces a print—then print your own tote bag inspired by the award-winning piece!

By highlighting Tracy’s award-winning artwork, this workshop introduces young people to contemporary art inspired by nature, science, and the environment. It encourages a deeper appreciation for the connection between art, culture, and the natural world.

Cruinniú na nÓg is a flagship initiative of the Creative Ireland Programme’s Creative Youth Plan to enable the creative potential of children and young people.

Saturday 7th June
12pm – 3pm  Drop in workshop, for 7 years old & upwards.
