FREE Saturday Worshops draw huge attention from an adoring public Arts Administration Students "inspire" with Creative Art Activities

Families from all over the Cork area joined together this morning for the second of 3 amazing workshops designed for children and their parents. The experience included a guided tour, story-telling, hands-on workshops - 3 age-specific activities, plus a poetry word-play activity high-lighted by LIVE music by the Music, Management and Sound students form the ensemble, "Nelson's Mandola".

The theme this week was "Under the Sea", drawing inspiration from several works in the show that incorporate sea imagery - jellyfish (by Fiona Cotter); photographs of Youghal Lighthouse (by Eimear Kelleher); Fabric and ribbon stitched net by Nuala O'Reilly-Teegan as well as a mono print by Grace O'Leary. Colour and varied materials gave the 30 strong group of young people a happy experience that allowed for perceptual and cognitive connections.

A third workshop will be held Saturday 19th February at Cork Vision Centre @ St. Peter's, 11-1 PM. The theme will be "The Emperor's New Clothes" and will incorporate wearable art, fashion and giving identities and clothing to some special lonely wooden visitors at Cork Vision Centre @ St. Peter's - waiting for "attire".

Join us for the fun. The exhibition closes on Friday 25th February at noon. For further information contact Arts Administration @ csnartsadmin@gmail.com or c.white@csn.ie
