The Wonder Programme First Engagement At Ballintogher

We’re delighted to announce that our associate artists Brenda Kearney and Karen Webster had their first day engagement with the children of Ballintogher Community Childcare CLG on 8th May!

Ballintogher has a strong outdoor ethos in its play-school, with the wonderful Ballintogher Nature Trail on their doorstep. The artists began with a show and tell of their own work as artists; Karen shared some books with her beautiful paintings and images of seaweed bowls, Brenda passed around some ceramic and textile pieces and some unfired wild clay. Chats were had about what it is that artists do and then they all headed off on a walk up the nature trail. A lovely engagement of exploration and experimentation we are very excited to see how this project develops 

There will be a further 5 sessions with Ballintogher.  Read more about the programme here : https://kidsown.ie/projects/the-wonder-project/

This programme is Funded by Sligo Arts Service in partnership with the Arts Council of Ireland.
