Family workshops
We have three exciting workshops for children of all ages and their accompanying adults!
We kick off at 5.15pm with a storytelling and craft session with children’s author Olivia Hope, who will share her spooky folklore story that inspired our art-tastic exhibition ‘A Way home/Sli Abhaile’ and inspire you to take your imagination on a walk. Get creative and join us!
Then at 6.15pm we have a fun workshop with Paddy Donnelly! Paddy’s latest picture book, Fox & Son Tailers, is a heart-warming story about a father and son fox – celebrating creativity, this ‘tail’ encourages kids to follow their dreams and come up with their own unique ideas. This event is filled with animals, imagination and lots of doodling as kids create their own ‘tails’ in a drawalon with Paddy.
Finally, from 7.15pm onwards we are handing over to muralist Klo Wi, and special guest artist Zippy, who will inspire kids and their accompanying adults to ‘Leaf your mark’ in MoLI. An art, craft and lettering workshop for all of the family.
