Brigid’s Day Sculpture Workshop In Aid Of Hometree

Throwing Shapes

Taking place on Brigid’s Day, Sunday 1st February from 13:00 - 16:30, this one-off workshop is a reflective and creative making session inspired by Imbolc - a moment in the calendar that sits between darkness and light, winter and the promise of spring. At this time of year the weather is still unsettled: rain, damp air, grey skies, and brief glimpses of brightness. This workshop draws inspiration from the late Manchán Magan’s book 99 Words for Rain and One for Sun, and is offered in his honour - celebrating language, landscape, and our deep relationship with weather and place.
