Join artists Michelle McMahon and Monica Fleming in celebrating our hay meadows and traditional crafts with an adult crafting workshop.

Traditional crafts using hay and straw, along with many of our meadows, are in danger of being lost. This event will explore the art of making hay and straw costumes decorated with natural materials, using weaving techniques and the Súgán twister. Participants can take away what they make.

Monica will also speak about our disappearing meadows, which are a valuable habitat for wildflowers and an important food source for our pollinators.

Hay! is part of Workhouse EXCHANGE, a programme of creative workshops, artist residencies, and community skills exchanges to revitalise the Callan Workhouse site.

Workhouse EXCHANGE is funded through The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon and Creative Ireland Kilkenny.

Booking is essential as spaces are limited.
