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.
