Early Years Workshops: Creatures Under The Sea! 24 Jan - 7 Feb 2025

As part of TradFest 2025, join visual artist Jane Groves for a workshop that dives into our emerald Irish waters for young adventurers aged 2-4.

In this interactive workshop for young adventurers aged 2-4, you are invited to create your own underwater creatures with clay, sea glass and shells or playfully interact with the ocean’s texture and light.* Explore the beauty and wonder on the Irish waters where the merrows, Cuchulainn's horses and the silkie live.

*Although aprons will be provided, please do dress for some mess!

About Jane Groves

Jane is a visual artist whose work is embedded in meaningful process-driven engagement and site-specific installation. Jane loves to connect people, places, and landscapes and specialises in working with young people, inspired by her own observations of nature and informed in part by many children’s lack of interaction with and vocabulary about the natural world. Jane delights in bringing her spark to very young children and their families, listening carefully and delighting in the creative response, encouraging passion, playfulness, and curiosity. Jane has worked extensively with children and communities through working with The Ark, Dublin City Council, Creativity In The Classroom, The Craft and Design Council, DLR, and many more.
